Latest data shows Verstappen was most talked about driver this past weekend
Recent analysis from OLBG looked at comment and user data from the Formula 1 subreddit to see who the most popular drivers were during the US Grand Prix.
It's no surprise to see Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are the top two most popular drivers on that specific subreddit with Sergio Perez coming just behind them.
All eyes will be on Perez this weekend at his home Grand Prix with rumours in recent weeks suggesting the driver may decide to call it a day after the race.
