Oliver Bearman, Haas (P14) – 4/10
An untypical anonymous afternoon for the young Brit, who spent the race fighting a deeply unstable rear end. While keeping the car on the tarmac without making critical errors is a baseline expectation, it doesn't earn you points or headlines. Bearman simply cruised around in the midfield shadows, delivering a clean but ultimately forgettable drive that gave cameras nothing to look at.
Pierre Gasly, Alpine (P13) – 5/10
Gasly branded his Austrian GP his most brutal Sunday of the entire campaign. Inconsistent balance and horrific tyre wear turned his three-stop strategy into a pure exercise in survival rather than racing. He never looked capable of dragging the stubborn Alpine into anything resembling a points threat, resulting in a flat performance that will be quickly erased from his memory.
