Max Verstappen - 10

Vওerstappen continues to make the difference for Red Bull as he delivered another masterclass in Barcelona in what was not the quickest car.

Lando Norris - 8.5

Given McLaren had the fastest car this weekend, it’s hard to agree with the fans’ decision to hand Norris driver of the day. While﷽ his pole lap was magical, in the key moments on Sunday, he didn’t deliver - at the start and then in traffic later on.

Lewis Hamilton - 9

There’s just some tracks where Hamilton always delivers and Barcelona🌠 is one of them. He finally got his qualifying together with third on the grid before converting that into his first podium of the year despite🤪 a slow start.

George Russell - 8

Russell’s start was Alonso-esque as he swooped around the outside of Norris and Verstappen to take the lead. Unfortunat🧔ely for Russell, his race pace seemed to be a little bit off compared to Hamilton’s. Even without the strategy variation, the seven-time world champion had the edge.

Charles Leclerc - 8.5

After struggling for pace up until Q3, Leclerc pulled it out of the bag t🧜o toppꦗle Sainz again. A mature drive to come away with fifth in the end which required significant tyre preservation.

Carlos Sainz - 7.5

In his own words, Sa🍌inz tried to be aggressive on home soil but it was all in vain as he finished sixth.

Oscar Piastri - 6

A poor weekend from Piastri, whose chances were completely ruined by an off at the final couple of corners in qualifying. While he recovered to seventh, it’s far from good enough in what🐲 was the best car in Barcelona.

Sergio Perez - 5.5

Perez’s mid-season troubles continued in Spain. He was b🐻ack in Q3 but h🐼is grid penalty from the last race was always going to put him on the back foot.

Pierre Gasly - 9

Outs🐟ide of Verstappen, there’s no doubt that Gasly was this weekend’s star performer. He excelled in qualifying before putting together a strong race. Had it not been for a slow pit stop, he’d have finished ahead of Perez.

Esteban Ocon - 7.5

A step behind Gasly but did well to come away with a point in an impressive we📖eke🌃nd for Alpine.

Nico Hulkenberg - 7

Haas were never in c🤡ontention for points in Barcelona so Hulkenberg put together a professional race to finish 11th.

Fernando Alonso - 6.5

Unfortunately for Alonso on home turf, Aston Martin were completely hopeless. No paceꦬ and𓄧 deja vu in the development race if you look at last year.

Zhou Guanyu - 6

A change of chassis resulted in Zhou’s first Q2 appearance of the year so far. He was given a more conventional strꦰategy than teammate Bottas, a♒llowing him to mix it in the midfield.

Lance Stroll - 6

Not quite at Alonso's level on a weekend where Aston Martin never looked like scoring poin🐎ts.

Daniel Ricciardo - 6.5

A weirdly poor weekend for RB as their upgrade - so far at least - hasn't delivered.💫 Still, a f🏅airly solid race for Ricciardo.

Valtteri Bottas - 6.5

Bottas was brilliant in qualifying as he extended h🍷is advantage over Zhou to 10-0 in th🌱e head-to-head. The strategy deployed by Sauber was shocking though.

Kevin Magnussen - 5.5

🍰Magnussen's chances of a solid race were ruined by a false start. 

Alex Albon - 6.5

It Williams' worst weekend of the year. They were comfortably the slꦿowest team in Barcelona.

Yuki Tsunoda - 5.5

A messy race for Tsunoda who was hit with a pen꧋aꦆlty for pit lane speeding. 

Logan Sargeant - 5

Off the pace and anonymou🍌s. A weekend to forget for Sargeant and Williams.
