Spanish Grand Prix driver ratings: The F1 'pay driver' who continues to go under the radar

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 10
Another weekend of perfection for the reigning world champion. Pole positඣion, race ꦛwin and the fastest lap. Unstoppable.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - 9
A fin♔e weekend from Hamilton - at a circuit he’s enjoyed a lot of success historically. The main blemish on his weekend was his final Q3 lap, with a mistake at Turn 10 costing him second on the grid.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 8
After a poor qualifying, Russell enjoyed a fine race day performance. He quickly made his way up the order before fending off the quicker Red Bull in the closing laps to secure his first podium of F1 2023.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez - 6.5
Given Red Bull’s dominance this season, a third race in seven that Perez has failed to finish on the podium.ℱ He struggled for pace throughout practice while a scrappy qualifying session left him 11th on the grid. Ultimately, he was beaten by the two Merc💦edes drivers.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 8.5
As teammate Leclerc struggled for pace𓄧, Sainz got the most out of it to secure ꦐsecond on the grid. Ferrari didn’t have the pace of the Red Bull or Mercedes, so dropping down to fifth was inevitable.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll - 8
This weekend was arguably Stroll’s best of the year as he out-qualified and out-raced🍌 Alonso for the first time in 2023. The Canadian ran as high as third on the opening lap but couldn’t maintain it as Aston Martin surpris🉐ingly struggled for race pace.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - 7
Alonso endured his worst weekend of the season with an uncharacteristic mistake in Q1. He sustained floor damage which compromised the rest ♔of his qualifying. Wit🌸h Aston Martin lacking overall race pace, he could only recover to seventh behind his teammate.

Esteban Ocon - 7
Anotherꩲ solid weekend from Ocon to bring home crucial points for Alpine to secure fifth overall in the constructors’ championship.
Zhou Guanyu - 8.5
Zhou was the unsung hero of the Spanish ಌGP weekend. Quicker than Bottas in qualifying, Zhou claimed Alfa Romeo’s third points finish of the year with ninth.
Pierre Gasly - 6.5
After st🌜arring in qualifying, Gasly’s good work was undone by two impeding offences, resulting in two three-place grid penalties. After a poor Lap 1, he struggled to make his way back up through the field.
Charles Leclerc - 3
A🎃 torrid weekend overall for Leclerc. Knocked out in Q1 - and he failed to🐠 finish inside the top 10 in the race. He will be scratching his head.
Yuki Tsunoda - 7
Tsunoda crossed the line in ninth but dropped outside of the points after picking up - in our opinion - a harsh five-second penalty for fo♌rcing Zhou off the track. That aside, it was another impressive weekend from the AlphaTauri driver.

Oscar Piastri - 6.5
Piastri was in the battle for the top 10 in Barcelona but a subpar strategy from McLaren - stopping him later - meant he lost crucial track po🔯sition.
Nyck de Vries - 5
A couple of spins in qualifying for de Vries. Overall, he was a steཧp behind (again) in pace relative to Tsunoda.
Nico Hulkenberg - 6.5
Hulkeꦗnberg was blistering in qualifying, but lacked overall🤪 pace in the race. A story of his F1 return so far.
Alex Albon - 6.5
Williams didn’t have the pace in Barcelona with their lack of downforce apparent. Albon was ꦺstill the quicker of the two Williamses.
Kevin Magnussen - 6
𓆉Slower than teammate Hulkenberg in qu🎀alifying, he fared better in the race. However, Haas were simply too slow.
Lando Norris - 6
After starring in qualifying, Norris’ good wo𓃲rk was undone on the opening lap. He was caught out by Hamilton, who had to back off into the opening sequence of corners, damaging his front wing in the process.
Valtteri Bottas - 4.5
Bottas had🀅 great pace in practice but struggled with the han🎀dling of his Alfa Romeo in the damp conditions. He spent most of the race running at the back.
Logan Sargeant - 5
An unspectacular we♏ekend from the American rookie.
