F1 blasted by fans after vote result snubbed to give Verstappen win
F1 fans were upset on social media due to the apparent snub of an official fan poll by F1.
In the 2025 season, eight ‘Overtake of the Month’ awards were given out, with Oscar Piastri winning it three times, Max Verstappen once, and Lewis Hamilton twice.
Verstappen’s move on Piastri at the Imola GP was voted the ‘Overtake of the Year’, despite a viral post suggesting that Charles Leclerc’s pass on George Russell had more fan votes.
The controversy led to debates among fans, with some questioning the fairness of the decision.
Although the legitimacy of the voting screenshot was brought into question, Verstappen’s impressive overtake on Piastri was widely acknowledged.
Despite the debate, Verstappen’s move remains a highlight of the 2025 season, showcasing his exceptional skills on the track.
