Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P2) – 9/10
Antonelli, the 19-year-old phenom, steered his Mercedes through Piastri's inadvertent nudge at the restart – emerging unscathed to press on without putting a foot wrong to duel Verstappen in a P2 dogfight that dripped with prodigy poise, holding the line with veteran vim. His race was a gladiatorial gaze into greatness, shrugging off shunts to stare down legends. Kimi's not just fast – he's the future, forged in Interlagos' fire. Watch this space; it's already starlit.

Lando Norris (McLaren) – 10/10
Norris navigated the nonsense with nonchalant nobility, transforming pole into a procession laced with 10-second supremacy, dodging debris and dedicating his P3 to Gil de Ferran amid roars that echoed eternity. Effort was ethereal – cool calculus in the cyclone, aggressive artistry when the gap tightened, extending his championship chasm to 24 points. The party boy's matured into monarchy material, crown custom-fitted. Lando, you didn't just win; you waltzed through the whirlwind, leaving rivals reeling. F1's throne? Yours for the taking.
