Score Ratings

Lewis Hamilton

8.8

This was Hamilton’s strongest weekend since joining Ferrari. He looked comfortable from the first practice session, consistently outperformed Leclerc and extracted everything possible from the car when it mattered most. His battle with Verstappen was one of the highlights of the race, while second place marked his most convincing Grand Prix result yet in Ferrari colors.

Franco Colapinto

8.6

After impressing in Miami, Colapinto confirmed that his recent form is no coincidence. Despite missing valuable track time, he reached Q3 and delivered a mature race to finish sixth. Once again, he emerged as the standout performer of the midfield and continues to show that he is settling into Formula 1 remarkably well.

George Russell

8.5

Arguably the fastest driver throughout the weekend in outright pace. He topped key sessions and looked ready to challenge for victory before reliability intervened. His retirement hides what was an excellent performance, proving he remains a serious benchmark within Mercedes despite Antonelli’s recent rise.

Kimi Antonelli

8.4

Antonelli did not enjoy the same advantage over Russell that he had shown in previous rounds, but he once again demonstrated maturity and racecraft under pressure. He capitalized on every opportunity available and extended his remarkable winning streak. There were moments where he pushed the limits, but the overall result remains highly impressive.

Max Verstappen

8.0

Red Bull endured a difficult start to the weekend and appeared well behind the leading contenders. As he so often does, Verstappen maximized the package available to him and transformed a challenging situation into another podium finish. Victory was never realistically within reach, but he limited the damage and secured valuable championship points.

Arvid Lindblad

7.6

The final result does not reflect the quality of Lindblad’s weekend. The young Briton showed strong pace in qualifying, scored in the Sprint and looked capable of leading the midfield fight on Sunday. A gearbox issue prevented him from even starting the Grand Prix, but his performance throughout the event deserved recognition.

Liam Lawson

7.5

Following a disastrous start to the weekend caused by mechanical issues, Lawson responded impressively. He recovered strongly in qualifying and took advantage of the opportunities that emerged during the race. It was not a spectacular performance, but it was a solid and efficient drive that delivered important points.

Carlos Sainz

7.2

Once again, Sainz carried Williams’ hopes throughout the weekend. Even after committing to a strategy that ultimately proved costly, he recovered well and secured another points finish. His consistency has become one of the few bright spots in what remains a difficult season for the Grove-based team.

Lando Norris

7.0

Norris appeared capable of producing a strong recovery drive after an aggressive start and encouraging race pace. The gamble on intermediate tyres briefly looked inspired but ultimately failed to pay off. Reliability issues then ended his race before he could fully capitalize on his potential.

Oliver Bearman

6.6

In a difficult weekend for Haas, Bearman managed to extract something positive. He stayed out of trouble, maintained a steady pace and took advantage of incidents ahead to secure a valuable point. It was not a headline-grabbing performance, but it was exactly what the team needed.

Isack Hadjar

6.5

The final result looked excellent on paper, but the race itself was far from flawless. Hadjar showed strong speed throughout the weekend and occasionally matched the pace of the frontrunners. However, the penalties he received highlighted avoidable mistakes that could have proven far more costly.

Pierre Gasly

6.4

Gasly faced challenges throughout the weekend and once again finished behind team-mate Colapinto. However, he recovered well during the race and salvaged important points for Alpine. It was not one of his strongest weekends of the season, but he at least showed resilience when circumstances were against him.

Nico Hulkenberg

6.0

The German displayed flashes of speed but was ultimately compromised by the decision to start on intermediates and by mistakes that cost valuable track position. Once conditions stabilized, he lacked the pace to challenge for points. Overall, it was a disappointing weekend for Audi.

Charles Leclerc

5.6

One of Leclerc’s quietest weekends of the season. From the opening sessions he struggled to match Hamilton’s pace and never appeared fully comfortable with the Ferrari. Recovering to fourth place softened the final result, but the performance gap to his team-mate was impossible to ignore.

Fernando Alonso

5.4

After showing promise in Sprint Qualifying, Alonso’s weekend quickly unraveled. Mistakes, technical issues and another retirement prevented him from converting any potential into a meaningful result. As has often been the case this season, he was left fighting circumstances more than rivals.

Sergio Perez

5.2

Perez continued to show improvement and once again looked more comfortable than Bottas. He appeared capable of delivering a respectable result before becoming involved in avoidable incidents that hurt his race. A suspension failure ultimately ended his afternoon prematurely, masking what had been a decent effort.

Gabriel Bortoleto

5.0

Bortoleto’s race was largely dictated by strategy decisions and the limitations of the car. There were encouraging signs in qualifying, but on Sunday he found himself locked in a battle with Hülkenberg rather than fighting for points. The potential is evident, but the package remains uncompetitive.

Alexander Albon

4.8

Few drivers endured a more unfortunate weekend than Albon. Problems began in practice and continued into the race, where he became an innocent victim in an incident while fighting for points. The circumstances make his true pace difficult to judge, but he certainly deserved better.

Esteban Ocon

4.4

Ocon showed occasional signs of competitiveness but once again found himself trailing Bearman when it mattered most. Different setup approaches failed to deliver the desired gains, leaving the impression of another missed opportunity. The pressure surrounding his performances continues to grow.

Lance Stroll

4.2

The Canadian delivered a quiet and largely anonymous weekend. He reached the finish but rarely looked capable of challenging for meaningful positions. It was a clean enough performance, yet far from enough to alter Aston Martin’s difficult trajectory.

Oscar Piastri

4.0

The choice to start on intermediate tyres compromised much of Piastri’s race and he never seemed fully comfortable thereafter. While his speed remained evident at times, frustration clearly built throughout the event. Contact with Albon added another negative chapter to an already difficult Sunday.

Valtteri Bottas

2.5

Cadillac still lacks the pace to fight consistently for points, but Bottas also struggled to make an impact. He was comfortably beaten by Pérez and never looked like a factor in either qualifying or the race. It was another underwhelming weekend for the experienced Finn.
