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 champion was the class act of the field as he sta🧸rted 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 F🐟errari but by that stage he was well adrift🌟 of Verstappen and was never in contention for the win. Nevertheless, the Mexican helped seal a perfect 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 b♔oth 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 Spaniard.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz - 8
It proved 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 enough to keep Hami💦lton 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 if 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 Stroll, who reached Q3𒉰 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 drivers at times, falling behind Hamilt🤪on meant he missed out on the preferential strategy and was undercut by Stroll’s Ast👍on 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 lap𒆙. The Finn never looked back and was rewarded for a great race with eig💞hth 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 Gaslyꦰ, who went under the radar as he recover𓆏ed from a disappointing qualifying and back of the grid start to rise into the points on his Alpine debut.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon - 10
Albon claimed 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 202🐽3.
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 the slowes🐼t car of testing but it was nevertheless a solid race for Tsunoda, who comfortably had the upper hand over his new t𓆏eammate all weekend.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant - 9
Sargeant was unfortuna🎶te not to join Williams teammate Albon in Q🍸2 but did a fantastic job on his F1 debut to finish as the highest-placed rookie.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen - 7
Magnussen made solid progress from 17th by running an alternative strategy from the start in what was a challenging race for Haas. Could have been in contention for the points with a bett🌱er 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 be♈en hampered by strategy.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg - 6
Hulkenberg’s full-time return started with promis𒈔e as he reached Q3 but all that good wor꧋k 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 wer💃e 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 𓆉up 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 noꦡ reward for Norris despite a big effort 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 was a shocking Sunday🐓 for Ocon who equalled an unwanted record as he picked up a hat-trick of almost comical driving penalties. Retirement 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 t♉he engine in his Fer🉐rari 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 was cu💝t short early on due to an “underlying electrical problem”.
