Mexico City Grand Prix driver ratings: A 10/10 drive in the midfield as George Russell struggles again
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 9.5
The three-time world champion claimed his 16th victory of the 2023 F1 season with relative ea💞se, finishing❀ nearly 14 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. The only blemish on his weekend was qualifying where he was beaten by the two Ferraris.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - 9.5
Like in Austin, Hamilton put together another incredible race weekend. His race performance, particularly on the medium tyre following the red flag, was mighty. A maꩵsterclass in tyre preservation from the Mercedes driver.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - 9.5
Another fine weekend from Leclerc, who claimed another pole p൲osition. His two race starts were sluggish, and weirdly, his pace, relative to Sainz at least, was better when he had front wing damage early on. Still, another fine weekend from the Monegasque.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 7.5
A solid weekend overall fr♛om Sainz. He was less than a tenth behind his teammate in qualifying, but did seem to struggle more on race day. In typical Sainz-fashion, he hung on well to come home with a big points haul.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - 7.5
While Norris was awarded ‘driver of the day’ for his recovery through the field, it’s fair to say Mexico was a missed opportunity given the pace of the McLaren. He was knocked out in Q1 - and that was his own fault. He then lost four positions at the second start following the red flag. A lively per✃formance but it should have been better than fifth in Mexico.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 6.5
Russell🌱 seems no closer to being able to compete with Hamilton, especially on race day. He was lacking pace and ran out of tyres by the end of it, coming under pressure from Ricciardo in the AlphaTauri.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo - 10
There’s no doubt that Ricciardo was the sta✨r of the weekend. Fourth in qualifying was backed up by seventh in the race. Had it not been for the red flag, it’s likely he’d have finished a little higher.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri - 7
Piastri struggled once again on race day, with tyre management pr𒈔oving to be his achilles’ heel. Given the difference in grid position between Piastri and Norris, to be well beaten by his more experienced teammate wasn’t a good look even ifﷺ he did pick up damage for the contact with Tsunoda.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon - 8.5
Albon coౠntinues to get the most out of the Williams as he picked 𝐆up two points and cemented seventh in the constructors’ championship for the team.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon - 7
Ocon was unfortunate to get knocked out of Q1 with the 🍰timing of the yellow flag not on his side. Lady luck did favour him in the race with the timing of the red flag, which allowed him to get a free pit stop. He drove well, picking off Hulkenberg to come away with a point.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly - 7
It did look like Gasly was the quicker of the two Alpines in Mexico. However, the timing of the Safety Car / red flag cost him a chance of finishing in th𒊎e points.
Yuki Tsunoda - 6.5
Big points were on the table for Tsunoda in Mexico City but he misjudged his tu꧂rning point when battling Piastri, spinning out and dropping well down the order.
Nico Hulkenberg - 7
Hulk🌞enberg r🍒an inside the top 10 for much of the race but his tyres went off late on, falling outside of the points.
Zhou Guanyu - 5.5
Zhou struggled for pace all weekend, even t🍎hough he managed to make Q3 at Albon’s expense. He ran𓆏 much of the race at the back.
Valtteri Bottas - 6
A lacklustre race from Bottas ended in contact with Stroll and a subsequent time penalty f♒or spinning the Aston Martin.
Logan Sargeant - 5.5
Another weekend w🥂here Sargeant failed to make the most of Williams’ potential.
Lance Stroll - 6.5
A respectable race performance from Strol💯l given he was quicker than Alonso. Points were never really on the table.
Fernando Alonso - 6
A𝔉lonso’s worst race day p💯erformance of the year as he was forced to let teammate Stroll through. It didn’t really matter though given points weren’t possible for Aston Martin.
Kevin Magnussen - 5.5
A step behind his te꧒ammate, Magnussen’s race ended with a frightening crash following suspension failure.
Sergio Perez - 4
It was a sad end for Perez at his home ev𓂃ent. He was compl🔯etely to blame for the Lap 1 contact with Leclerc, turning in too early.
