Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has won the Hungarian Grand Prix ‘Driver of the Day’ award after making up eight places during the 70-lap race.
It's the first time Raikkonen – or a Ferrari driver – has won the award which was introduced at the start of the season and is voted for by fans.
Raikkonen started the race from 14th on the grid after struggling in the wet-to-dry conditions during qualifying on Saturday. He climbed the order to eventually finish sixth behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
The pair battled over fifth place for several laps, with Raikkonen contacting the rear of Verstappen's car, causing damage to his front-wing. After the race, the Finnish driver questioned the 18-year-old's tactics.
"Regarding the battle with Max, it’s not for me to decide but I think that his manoeuvres are questionable," he said.
"The first time he started to move on the right and I went left, but he moved back there too, so I had to try and get out of it because I was hitting him hard on the rear and I lost my front wing, which didn’t make it easier to attack again.
"Then later, every time I managed to make a move and I was committed to somewhere he decided to turn afterwards, and at that point I had nowhere to go."
