Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P16) – 8/10
Heartbreak for the young Italian. After recovering beautifully from a chaotic opening stint, Antonelli showcased blistering pace, hunting down and overtaking Russell for second. Just as a dream podium beckoned, a brutal battery failure forced him to park up. He walks away empty-handed, but he certainly turned plenty of heads... again.

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (P15) – 4.5/10
Leclerc put himself on the back foot with a sloppy mistake in qualifying, leaving him mired in tenth on the grid. Ferrari’s strategic hesitation over a two- or three-stop plan didn't help, but the Monegasque never really looked like a threat before his car expired late in the running. A thoroughly forgettable and messy weekend.
