Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (P8) – 8.5/10
Rebounded from his Zandvoort heartbreak in sublime fashion. After the red-flag restart, the British rookie managed a monster 46-lap stint on a single set of hard rubber, showing maturity and tyre management way beyond his years to secure eighth.
Pierre Gasly, Alpine (P7) – 8.5/10
Following a heroic Saturday performance to claim pole position, holding off the big guns was always going to be an uphill battle. Gasly fought like a lion at the start, but top-speed deficiencies made him easy prey for the Mercs. Defended brilliantly against Norris for miles to rescue solid points.
