Zhou Guanyu (P16): 4.5/10
You get the feeling that neither Zhou Guanyu nor Sauber enjoyed their experience racing at Monaco this weekend. He was in the bottom two in all three practice sessions and sure enough came bottom in qualifying. The exclusion of the two Haas cars elevated him off the back row of the grid at the start and yet within a corner he was behind again and had to stop at the pay-and-display parking when the Perez accident unfolded ahead of him. He took the restart at the back and only gained a place when his team mate Valtteri Bottas was first to pit under green flag conditions on lap 15. Zhou himself waited until lap 70 to pit by which time his tyres had already cost him positions, and as a result he was back at the back where he he had started. "A really tame and uneventful afternoon," he concluded, and we can't disagree.
Logan Sargeant (P15): 5/10
It wasn't a weekend that's going to contribute much material to Logan Sargeant's highlights reel, but at the same time there's nothing that's going to embarrass him looking back either. Yes, there was the occasional glancing blow with the barrier during practice and qualifying but no worse than anyone else. He acquitted himself decently even though the end result was only P17 in qualifying (subsequently promoted to 15th on the grid due to the Haas exclusion.) That sounds reasonable until you note that his team mate Alex Albon made it into Q3 and went on to clinch the team's first points of the year. There was no such opportunity for Sargeant but he kept it clean and didn't hit anything in the race which is more than can be said for some of his more experienced peers.
