Oliver Bearman, Haas (P10) – 6.5/10
A tidy, mature drive from Bearman to salvage the final point from fifteenth on the grid. He showed excellent situational awareness, keeping his nose clean and wisely moving out of the way as a recovering Norris and a crashing Albon created chaos around him. It is a welcome return to the top ten after a mini-drought.
Carlos Sainz, Williams (P9) – 7/10
An impressive rise of six places for the Spaniard. Williams took a massive gamble by starting him on intermediates, but Sainz managed the tricky opening phase beautifully. He recovered with poise, making decisive overtakes to become the only intermediate-starter on the grid to finish inside the points. A hard-earned, highly resilient two points for the team.
