The winners of the F1 Racing Awards 2017
Wider, grippier, faster cars promised a new era of action and adventure in 2017 - but who made the biggest impact for you, the fans, this season? We asked you to vote in nine categories in this year's F1 Racing Awards In association with Tag Heuer. JAMES ROBERTS spoke to the winners...
Christian Horner - Red Bull Racing
One of Horner's strengths has been managing young drivers - a legacy, perhaps, of his days running his Arden team in Formula 3000. Despite a bad year in terms of reliability and a slow start on the performance front, he's managed the expectations of the youthful Max Verstappen - and, more importantly, convinced Max to extend his deal with the team until the end of 2020.
The partnership with Daniel Ricciardo is arguably the strongest driver pairing in F1, so Horner will be tested in the coming years if the pair are squabbling over wins. Thankfully he can draw on his experiences of smoothing fractious tussles between RBR team-mates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber in seasons past.
