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 cha🥂mpion 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 sta🥃ge he was well adrift of Verꩵstappen 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 both Mercedes and a Ferrari on his way to claiming a best-of-the-rest behind the dominant Red Bulls. Full marks for the 4♉1-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 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 if there was a slice of fortune involved. Much of Ha𒈔milton’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.&nb💃sp;
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 Q3 and beat a Mercedes in an i🉐mpressive run to P6 despite nursing a broken wrist and toe. A competitive showing considering the Canadian misse♍d 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 Hamilton meant he missed out on the preferential strategy and was undercut by Strꩲoll’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 never 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 o𒆙f 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 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 capitalis𒁃ed 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 the slowest ൲car 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
Sargeant wasꦛ unfortunate not to join Williams teammate Albon in Q2 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 challeng🥀ing race for Haas. Could have been in contention for the points with a bet🀅ter 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 aꩵs he took 14th, having been hampered by strategy.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg - 6
Hulkenb💞erg’s full-time return started with promise as he reached Q3 but all t🃏hat 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 ensu✅re 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 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 pick𝓡ed up a hat-trick of almost comical driving penalties. Retirement brought Ocon’s miserable evening to an end.&n⭕bsp;
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - N/A
Was never a threat ཧto Verstappen but was in a good battle for second place with the second Red Bull of Perez until the engine in his Ferrari gav🥀e 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 cut short early on due to an “under🧸lying electrical problem”.
