God "Formula 1" Sirotkin is ahead of Hamilton in the vote for the title of the best rider of the year
The pilot "Williams" Russian Sergei Sirotkin unexpectedly entered the voting leaders for the title of the best racer of the season in Formula 1 on the authoritative English portal Sky Sports .
A few days before the finish of the voting, which will end at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Sirotkin is almost 20 thousand votes ahead of the world champion Lewis Hamilton from the Mercedes, and this gap is growing.
It is noteworthy that the Russian was able to achieve such a result thanks to a whole campaign deployed on social networks and on the popular Reddit website. For Sirotkin, who scored only one “historical” point after the season after disqualification of the competitor and occupies the last place in the championship, representatives of different countries give their voices, calling Sergey “God and the Savior”.
“This is not the first time that the Russians intervene in the voting,” one of the fans of racing on the Reddit website wrote.
“I hope this will not be considered Russian intervention,” another continued the topic. “Russian bots do not die.”
“Sergey forward,” Formula 1 fans write.
There's Still Another Week to go in OUR F1 Driver of the Year Vote and Lewis Hamilton is Just Ahead of ... Sergey Sirotkin!

"Now Sirotkin will be able to update information about himself on Instagram and indicate that he became the best racer of 2018"; "Incredible! Guys with Sky Sports will be in shock"; "Next time, they will think before letting people from the Internet take part in the vote"; "How long will we have to continue it?" - "So far" Williams "will not sign a new contract with him."
It is worth noting that soon Sirotkin can leave Williams, as the team is actively negotiating with Poles Robert Cubes. Whether the Russian will remain in Formula 1, is still unknown, notes R-Sport .
