The Hungarian Grand Prix delivered no shortage of drama, strategy gambits, and backmarker chaos at the Hungaroring. From Lando Norris keeping his cool to snatch victory, to lapped-traffic madness ruining Oscar Piastri’s afternoon, we’ve scrutinized all 22 drives. Here is how every driver rated on our signature 1 to 10 scale after the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac (DNF) – 4.5/10

Valtteri Bottas appeared to offer early promise thanks to an incisive start. However, Cadillac's ongoing gremlins soon ruined his afternoon. Thermal troubles forced him into heavy lift-and-coast management before his brakes gave up entirely. It was another early exit through no real fault of his own, extending Cadillac's painful sequence of mechanical headaches. A frustrating end to what showed initial potential on Sunday.

 

Sergio Perez, Cadillac (DNF) – 4.5/10

Starting from the back row after a disastrous Saturday, Sergio Perez spent his short race wrestling a deeply uncooperative chassis. Gearbox setup changes left the balance feeling completely foreign, forcing mid-stint adjustments to his driving style. Between blue flag confusion and persistent mechanical gremlins, his afternoon was a chaotic struggle before a suspension issue put him out of his misery. Another weekend to forget completely for the Mexican veteran.
