F1 Bahrain GP Driver Ratings: An unsung hero but who had a comically bad race?
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - 10
The reigning world c🌺hampion was the class act of the field as he started 2023 in the same manner he finished 2022 with an unstoppable performance. Verstappen didn’t put a foot wrong all weekend as he easily converted pole into his first win in Bahrain.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez - 9
Perez recovered well from a bad start to fight back past Leclerc’s Ferrari but by that stage he was well adrift of Verstappen and was never🧜 in contention for the win. Nevertheless, the Mexican helped seal a perfec♊t result for Red Bull with a strong drive.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso - 10
A beast of a drive from Alonso, who fought back from a challenging first lap to charge past both Mercedes and a Ferrari on his way to claiming a best-of-the-rest behind the dominant Red Bulls. Full marks for the 41-year-old Spaniꦺard.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 8
It pro✱ved a tough evening for Sainz who ultimately finished where he started as the sole-surviving Ferrari. A solid drive but Sainz will be disappointed to have missed out to Alonso late on, but did enougℱh to keep Hamilton Mercedes’ at bay.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - 8
Fifth place was probably the best Mercedes could have hoped for going into the race, and that was exactly where Hamilton finished, even i🌼f there was a slice of fortune involved. Much of Hamilton’s good work was done on a brilliant opening lap but he was ultimately 👍powerless to keep the faster Alonso behind, despite a valiant effort.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll - 10
A heroic performance all weekend from the injured Stro𓆉ll, who reached Q3 and beat a Mercedes in an impressive run to P6 despite nursing a broken wrist and toe. A competitive showing considering the Canadian missed testing and only had surgery two weeks ago!
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 7
A sluggish getaway ultimately cost Russell. Despite being the quicker of the two Mercedes dr🉐ivers at times, falling behind Hamilton meant he missed out on the preferential strategy and was undercut by Stroll’s Aston Martin.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - 9
Bottas made instant progress to gain four places on an excellent opening lap. The Finn♑ nev🍌er looked back and was rewarded for a great race with eighth place and four points for Alfa Romeo.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly - 9
A drive of the day contender 🦄from Gasly, who went under the radar as he recovered from a disappointing qualifying and back of the grid start to rise into the points on his Alpi𒀰ne debut.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon - 10
Albon cl🏅aimed the final point on offer with a phenomenal drive. Having capitalised on a strong strategy, Albon brilliantly held off Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri and give Williams a positive start to 2023.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda - 7
Will have been frustrated to miss out on points to th♕e slowest car of testing but it was nevertheless a solid race for Tsunoda, who comfortably had the upper hand over his new teammate all weekend.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant - 9
Sargean𒅌t was unfortunate not to join Williams teammate Albon in Q2 but did a fantastic job on his F1 debut to finish as the highest-plac🌺ed rookie.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen - 7
Magnussen made solid progress from 17♈th by running an alternative strategy from the start in what was a challenging race for Haas. Could have bee♈n in contention for the points with a better qualifying.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nyck de Vries - 6
A decent-enough second F1 debut for de Vries, though there were no points up for grabs this time around as he took 14th, having been hamper🦄ed by strategy.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg - 6
Hu🧜lkenberg’s full-time return started with promise as he reached Q3 but all that good work was undone in a first-lap tangle that left him with front wing🍰 damage and saw him fall down the order.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu - 6
Zhou’s hopes of points were ruined by a poor start that saw him drop four spots on the opening lap. Was unable to recover but was at ༺least able to ensure rivals Alpine didn’t pick up a bonus point by snatching the fastest lap late on.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris - 8
There was no reward for Norris despite a big effo🍌rt in a luckless race. Hamstrung by a pneumatic issue with his engine that required multiple trips to the pits, Norris persevered in what turned out to be a data-gathering excessive for McLaren and brought his car home in 17th, two laps down.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon - 3
It wa🔜s a shocking Sunday for Ocon who equalled an unwanted record as he picked up a hat-trick of almost comical driving penalties. Reti꧂rement brought Ocon’s miserable evening to an end.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - N/A
Was never a threat to 🔯Verstappen but was in a good battle for second place with the second Red Bull of Perez until the engine in his Ferrari gave up.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri - N/A
Unfair to judge this rookie given his race ౠwas cut short early on due to an “underlying electrical problem”.
