Formula 1 is launching a new award for the driver who completes the most overtaking moves during the season.
The winner of what’s branded the Crypto.com Overtake Award will get a trophy at the end of the season.
“The award, which is the first of its kind, is designed to celebrate the bravery exhibited by drivers who make bold moves in pursuit of success,” said an F1 statement.
By F1’s calculations, Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel currently leads the overtaking award standings ahead of the championship resuming at the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.
In support of the new award, F1 will include new graphics “to signal overtaking possibilities and potential moves” in its TV broadcasts.
