I think the driver of the day shows how much people expect Verstappen to do the impossible. Had it been anyone else winning the race after a 5 second penalty and damaged front wing they'd be without question the driver of the day. But when it's Max it's not even impressive.
It's what happens when you perform at a peak level for a long time. People think it is normal when it isn't. Lewis knows all about it.
When you set a precedent, people expect that of you. Just how people work. But I think it's very important to sometimes step back and really look how amazing drivers who dominate are. What verstappen and redbull have been doing this season is incredible. It is not easy to be dominant. Not at all.
