Renault's Kevin Magnussen won the fan-voted Driver of the Day award for the Russian Grand Prix, after scoring the Enstone team's first points of the season.
Magnussen finished seventh to take home six points, moving Renault into ninth place in the Constructors' Championship.
Magnussen admitted some luck played a role in his points finish, but welcomed the motivational boost.
"It feels really good to get these points for the team as I know how hard everyone’s been working this season.
"I made a great start, but then lost a couple of positions at the first corner because of a spin in front of me. After that I was pushing hard for the entire race, made some good overtakes and I had a great pit stop from the crew.
"We were a bit lucky today; we’ve been unlucky in the past so I’ve certainly no complaints!"
Awesome! Thanks to everyone who voted! ðŸŽðŸ’¨ðŸ’¨ #F1DriverOfTheDay #SochiGP #NeverGiveUpOnTheDream https://t.co/FDSdDtNzG9
