The one driver to aim the choice technique of beginning on hards, Hamilton coupled a powerful opening stint with a superb second, chasing down Russell earlier than pulling off certainly one of his greatest passes of the final three seasons to take fourth on the ultimate lap. If his Q1 elimination was actually not his fault, then his race efficiency earns him a fittingly distinctive rating.

Recovering to the rostrum from nineteenth was a superb efficiency, however in the end he can solely blame himself for being up to now down to start with.

His first grand prix efficiency was the least spectacular of the three, however provided that he hasn’t raced for a yr, he averted any main errors and now is aware of precisely what to anticipate heading into his rookie marketing campaign subsequent yr. Whereas he was by no means near matching Gasly for tempo over the weekend, that may be excused within the circumstances.
Alexander Albon – 7/10

However though he couldn’t be blamed for being up to now down the order as he was earlier than his race ended, he additionally didn’t do a lot to face out both.
Valtteri Bottas – 4/10

Every part appeared glorious on Saturday and Bottas appeared to have put himself inside an outdoor likelihood of breaking his factors drought, however whereas his lap one conflict with Perez could possibly be deemed forgivable, his incident with Magnussen was something however. A disgrace.
Zhou Guanyu – 5/10

However he maybe didn’t take advantage of his potential over the weekend. Though he was excellent in qualifying, he misplaced that very good beginning place with a blatant breach of the weekend’s guidelines. He ought to have in all probability overwhelmed Gasly with the pair so evenly matched for race tempo, however as he began behind fairly than forward, that doubtless proved crucial.

If this was certainly Magnussen’s remaining grand prix, there was no manner he would have been pleased with the consequence however he truthfully may maintain his head excessive figuring out that he left all of it out on the observe. His qualifying efficiency was compromised by harm when he tried to get out of Hamilton’s manner on the finish of Q1, then his race was ruined by a sluggish pit cease placing him into tragic after which when he was nerfed by Bottas. We’ll by no means know if he had the tempo to match his group mate and battle for factors, however he at the least had the comfort prize of the quickest lap.
