Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari (4th) – 8/10
Lewis Hamilton looked increasingly comfortable in Ferrari red and spent much of the race glued to his team-mate’s gearbox. The pace was there, the racecraft was sharp, but the podium just slipped out of reach. Still, it was a much-needed convincing chapter in his Ferrari adaptation.
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (3rd) – 9/10
A polished drive from Charles Leclerc to secure a podium for Ferrari. Mightily incisive in the opening laps as he battled Russell tooth and nail. Efficient, tidy and exactly what the Scuderia needed. It’s doubtful however that a win would have been on the cards had Ferrari opted for a pitstop under the VSC. The Italian outfit is close, but Mercedes currently have them in a tactical headlock.
