Pierre Gasly (P6, 8 pts): 7.5/10
There's no question that Pierre Gasly continues to be in the shadow of his Red Bull team mate Max Verstappen. But then there are few drivers on the grid who can stand up to close comparison with the Dutch star. Gasly was actually the faster of the two in FP1 and only two tenths off in FP2, but he fell a long way back in the final practice and was predictably the slowest of the Big Three team drivers in qualifying. On Sunday, he drove a solid race pace and might have been able to challenge Leclerc for fifth if not for having to concentrate on fending off Kevin Magnussen's fierce attack from behind following the safety car. Even so, there's not really too much to objectively complain about in Gasly's performance this weekend.
