F1 driver ratings: Midfield star shines with fighting drive in Miami Grand Prix

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 9.5
A devastati♏ng drive from Verstappen to win from ninth on the grid. The only blemish on his weekend - his first run in Q3.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez - 8
Good, but not good enough for Pereꦛz in Miami. He never looked comfortable relative to Verstappen throughout the various sess🌼ions.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - 9
The experienced Spaniard continues to deliver. Four podiums in five races - anothe🥃r mighty Sunday drive for the two-time world champion.

George Russell - 8.5
Russell’s best drive oꦅf the season. P4 is pretty impressive given how much Mercedes stru🐟ggled for one-lap pace in Miami.
Carlos Sainz - 8
After struggling so much for pace in Baku, Sainz deserves credit for how he recovered in𓆏 Miami. While he was a step behind Leclerc in one-lap pace (before his car), Sainz kept it on the black stuff and was consistent. His rating would have been slightly higher had it not been for a speeding penalty.
Lewis Hamilton - 7.5
The seven-time world champion was a surprise exit in Q2, slumping to his worst qualifying 🀅position on US soil. Mercedes perfo🐻rmed better on race day, allowing Hamilton to ultimately finish sixth. A solid drive albeit out-shone by Russell.
Charles Leclerc - 6
A torrid weekend overall for Leclerc. He crashed ꧃in qualifying and seemed to lack any pace during the race. He spent most of it battling the Haas of Magnussen.
Pierre Gasly - 8.5
An exemplary weekend for Gasly in Miami. On it in qualifying, backed up with a strong race drive. He was pi𒁏cked off by Hamiജlton and Leclerc late on.
Esteban Ocon - 7
Unfortunate to🎐 not maximise qualifying due to the red flag, he recovered well to finish ninth.

Kevin Magnussen - 9
Magnussen backed up a superb fourth in qual🦄ifying with a fighting drive to tenth. No doubt, his efforts deserved more than a solitary point. His race-long battle with Leclerc was a highlight.
Yuki Tsunoda - 8
▨Tsunoda narrowly missed out on the points. While he was out-qualified 🍰by teammate de Vries for the first time this year - reflected in his overall rating - it was another impressive Sunday drive from the AlphaTauri driver.
Lance Stroll - 3
The worst-performing driver this weekend. He ꦯwas knocked out in Q1 while his teammate put it on the front row. He never looked like scoring a point in the grand prix.
Valtteri Bottas - 6.5
After a run of poor races, Bottas was back on form as he claimed Alfa Romeo’s first Q3 appearance of the ye🗹ar. He didn’t quite have the pace to maintain a top 10 finish on race day.

Alex Albon - 6.5
Albon seemed to get the most out of the Williams, but like Bottas in the Alfa, they didn’t really have the pace to finish in t♚he top🤪 10.
Nico Hulkenberg - 5
A step behind teammate Magnus♓sen foll🧸owing his crash in practice.
Zhou Guanyu - 5
Zhou was well behind teammate Bottas in qualifying, blaming a lack of slipstream for the substantial 🔯deficit.
Lando Norris - 6
A woeful weekend from McLaren in Mia🌼mi. Norris’ race was ruined when he was clattered by de Vries at the start.
Nyck de Vries - 4
While de Vries was able to out-qualify Tsunoda for the first time this year, his good work was undone on the opening lap when he smashed into thཧe back of 🐼Norris’ McLaren.
Oscar Piastri - 4.5
Not at Nor😼ris’ level in a weekend where McLa🍎ren had the slowest car on the grid.
Logan Sargeant - 4
Saꦺrgeant struggled for pace on his first visit to Miami.
