Max Verstappen, Red Bull (DNF) – 4/10
A technical “disaster class”. Once again, an ERS failure and a depleted battery dropped Verstappen from 8th to the back of the pack instantly. He clawed back to 6th through pure aggression, but being stuck behind Bearman’s Haas was the final insult before a cooling issue ended his "undriveable" afternoon.
Sergio Perez, Cadillac – 2/10
Finishing 15th – dead last of the runners – in a high-attrition race is a damning indictment. Perez made contact with his teammate Bottas early on after a sloppy maneuver and never recovered. Being outperformed by every other functional car on the grid was a tough look for the Mexican and for Cadillac.
