Kevin Magnussen (P7, 6 pts): 7.5/10
There doesn't appear to be any danger of Kevin Magnussen softening anytime soon. Although he insisted that the contact with his Haas team mate Romain Grosjean during the safety car restart had been unintentional, it was also rather unnecessary. Both drivers had been holding on to their strong qualifying positions all afternoon, a welcome marked improvement on the VF-19's recent race performances. It put them on course to pick up ten valuable championship points, and the clash at the start of lap 53 cost them three of those needlessly. Magnussen tried to repair the damage by going full attack mode on Pierre Gasly for sixth place in the remaining laps, but in the end he wasn't able to pull it off.
