Max Verstappen's overtake on Nico Rosberg at the Brazilian Grand Prix is up for the FIA Action of the Year award.

The Red Bull driver drove clean around the outside of championship leader Rosberg in wet conditions at Interlagos, going around the outside of the high-speed Turn 3 on a race restart. The move has been shortlisted for the FIA Action of the Year award, which also features action from a number of other FIA championships.

Verstappen excelled in the wet last weekend, climbing from 14th to third in the final stint of the race, eventually finishing behind Rosberg and race winner Lewis Hamilton. Rosberg was one of a number of cars the teenager passed, with Verstappen also overtaking Valtteri Bottas in the same fashion.

The award asks fans to vote on their favourite video showing a highlight from various FIA championships, with the opportunity to win two paddock passes
for the 2017 British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone.

Verstappen is up against highlights from the likes of Andre Lotterer in WEC, Jean-Eric Vergne in Formula E, Jose Maria Lopez in the World Touring Car Championship and Kris Meeke in WRC.
