Bahrain GP driver ratings: One midfield star stakes claim for 2025 F1 seat
ltxcn.top's F1 driver r🐼atings for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 10
It was the perfect start to the year for the reigning world champion. Pole position, the race win and fas🎀test lap. A faultless display from Verstappen in Bahrain.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez - 7
Perez’s qualifying form continues to be underwhelming - as it has been for much of his F1 career. Red Bull had a clear advantage on race day over Mercedes and Ferrari, so second wℱas the bare minimum for the Mexican.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 8
While Sainz wasn’t plagued with the same issues that affected teammate L♑eclerc, it was a fine drive by the Spaniard. Aggressive in his overtaking, Sainz drove beautifully to come away with a top three finish.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - 8
Lightning quick in Q2, Leclerc was understandably disappointed not to beat Verstapജpen to pole. His race was curta♓iled by an unusual brake issue which potentially cost him challenging Perez for second.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 8.5
The quicker of the two Mercedes drivers in Bahrain. Excellent in qualifying and impre🗹ssive in the early phase of the race before an overheating engine halted his progress.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - 7.5
Another mistake in qualifying for Norris 🧜costꦑ him a possible top three start in Bahrain. A tidy, quiet race from the McLaren driver. Sixth was probably the maximum given his qualifying blunder.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - 7
Poor in qualifying and fairly uninspiring in 🎀the race. Like Russell, Hamilton had to manage an overheating Mercedes power unit. The seven-time world champion did come alive in the closing laps - but it was a case of too little, too late.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri - 7
Piastri was general﷽ly a step behind teammate Norris in Bahrain. However, his general race pace and tyre degrada꧋tion was a clear step forward compared to many races last year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - 8
Given Alonso only had one run in qualifying, sixth probably flattered the Aston 🐼Martin. They weren’t in the same league as Ferrari, Meꦏrcedes or McLaren on race day.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll - 7
An impressive recovery from Stroll after he was spun around by Hulkenberg on t🔯he opening lap to come aw🌜ay with the final point.
Zhou Guanyu - 7.5
An underrated drive by Zhou, who narrowly missed out on a points finish. The Sauber looked very respectable relative to Haas and RB in t⭕erms of race pace. If he can keep this up, a spot on the 2025 F1 grid could be a reality.
Kevin Magnussen - 6.5
While Magnussen c𝔍ontinues to struggle on one-lap, he seems to come into his own on rac♎e day.
Daniel Ricciardo - 6.5
Ricciardo was simply slower than Tsunoda in Bahrain. Out-qualified and out-classed during the race. He had to rely on RB t🌠eam orders to get him ahead of Tsunoda.

Yuki Tsunoda - 7.5
Tsunoda should have been in conteꦰntion for points in Bahrain, however, a late second stop cost hi⛄m track position to Zhou and Magnussen.
Alex Albon - 7
Williams were never really a contender for a top 10 finish in Bahrain as Albon continued his impressive streak of out-qual🍷ifying Sargeant at every race they’ve been teammates.
Nico Hulkenberg - 6.5
Hulkenberg was arguably the star of qualifying as he made Q3 in the Haas. But, he chucked it away on the opening lap by colliding with Stroll, impa♈cting his rating for this weekend.
Esteban Ocon - 6.5
The quicker of the two Alpines, wh♍ich on balance, were the slowest team in Bahrain.
Pierre Gasly - 6
Not quite at Ocon’s level in Bahrain butജ💜 it’s inconsequential given their poor form.

Valtteri Bottas - 6.5
Bottas’ race was ru♊ined after he sustained damage on the opening lap from the carnage that ensued ahead of him between Hulkenberg and Stroll. He then had a 54-second pit stop which dropped him to the back of the 👍field.
Logan Sargeant - 6
A returning steering wheel electronics issue dropped Sargeant to the back of the ওgrid after a strong start. The American was running as high as 13th before the aforementioned technical gremlin.&🍸nbsp;
