Oliver Bearman, Haas (Retired, lap 48) 5/10
Bearman started the Grand Prix from 11th place, and was determined not to cross the line in said position and become the only driver in Formula 1 history to finish in a single position (other than first) five times in a row. Things started well for the British teenager, as he got ahead of Hadjar on the very first tour to move up into the top ten. He stayed in the minor points-scoring positions for a good chunk of the race until damage to his Haas’ undertray derailed his efforts. He eventually retired on lap 48 shortly after pitting for hard tyres.
Pierre Gasly, Alpine (P19) 2/10
Not even Gasly could do anything to muscle that tractor of an Alpine anywhere near the top ten. Starting on the hard compound of tyre turned out to be a poor strategic decision, not helped by the fact that the Frenchman lost three positions on the opening lap. Gasly actually saw the chequered flag ahead of his teammate Colapinto, but was classified behind him as a result of a ten second penalty for causing a collision.
