Welcome to the F1 Racing Man of the Year Awards - the world's biggest and best global F1 poll. Last year 46,937 of F1 Racing's three million readers world-wide voted in MOTY (as we tend to call it); this year we're hoping for even more.

MOTY belongs to you, the fans. It's your chance to give awards to the people you think have excelled in this year's Formula 1 season.

Voting is easy. There are 14 categories (below). For this year we've introduced a new award for the Most Improved Driver of the Year, to replace the now defunct Friday Driver category.

In each category, an expert panel of F1 Racing's most expert experts have selected nominees. All you have to do is select the nominee you think should win in each of the categories.

This year, we also invite you to share your views on the state of Formula 1 - what you like and what you want changed.

We'll collate the votes from all around the world, and publish them in the December issue of F1 Racing. The deadline for voting is midnight on Sunday, October 21 - that's just after the Brazilian GP has finished.
