Max Verstappen - 9th place, 2 points: 8.5/10
Verstappen has been having far from perfect weekends, but then producing stellar race recoveries on a consistent basis. An electrical issue stopped him on track in qualifying but he parked the car in a dangerous position, earning himself an extra three-place grid penalty. From 17th, Verstappen carved his way through the field - his passes on the two McLarens in to Turn 1 the standout moves - before dispatching team-mate Carlos Sainz late on and easing away from him to finish ninth.
