Alexander Albon, Williams (P18): 5.5/10
This was a terrible race for Williams as whole. Ever since he arrived at Grove, Alex Albon has consistently out-performed the car and regularly made it through to the second round of qualifying if not all the way to Q3. This week he was totally moribund throughout, finishing Friday in the bottom two and only able to beat his team mate Logan Sargeant in qualifying. An overnight change to the car demoted him to the pit lane for the start of the race, and his main achievement was to avoid tripping up the frontrunners when they lapped him. Something has gone badly wrong at Williams and it might take a miracle for them to add to the two championship points already in the pot from Monaco.
Kevin Magnussen, Haas (P17): 5/10
Like Alex Albon and Yuki Tsunoda, Kevin Magnussen had a dispiriting weekend in Barcelona and was able to achieve little in a Haas that seemed throughly out of sorts. He missed the first cut in qualifying and made matters worse by creeping forward on the grid and earning himself a penalty for a false start. Not that anyone was really looking to Magnussen for any surprises this weekend. The Dane spent much of the race tangling with the two Saubers, but he did manage to get the better of Yuki Tsunoda in the RB. The pair were among the earliest cars to stop for fresh tyres, but the strategy did little to help his situation.
