Carlos Sainz: 8/10
Somewhat unfortunate to be so low in the standings compared to his fellow rookie team-mate, Sainz has impressed in his opening ten races on the whole. Scored points in his opening two races and delivered an excellent qualifying performance at home in Barcelona to start from fifth place. Unfortunately, the car was not as strong in race trim and cautious lap time targets from the team saw him finish ninth, but he followed up with another point in Monaco. Four top tens from the opening six races is an impressive return for a rookie, but a run of three consecutive retirements due to reliability - most painfully when as high as sixth in Hungary - have masked his performances.
