During the assessment of the Fan Favorite Award, there were some shortcomings and issues the FIA encountered. Initially, it was supposed to be Luca's award too, but after a round of internal deliberation, Luigi was ultimately titled the most favorite driver throughout the season.
The thing is, this awarding category was entirely fan-voted from the beginning of the season to the end. The voting mechanism technically had ballots both for and against each driver. In Luca's case, he had an overwhelming number of favorite votes. But the problem was, he also had nearly the same amount of disfavored votes; meaning that while millions admired him, thousands also despised him.
Luigi, on the other hand, didn't accumulate even half of Luca's favorite votes. But unlike Luca, his disfavored votes were extremely low in comparison, almost negligible.
