Yuki Tsunoda, Racing Bulls (P14) – 6/10
Tsunoda was an innocent victim in the Lap 1 melee when Sainz clipped him, leaving the RB with significant floor damage. Despite missing crucial downforce, Yuki soldiered on with decent lap times, but on a track where overtaking proved virtually impossible, he was trapped in traffic. Pure damage limitation through no fault of his own.
Gabriel Bortoleto, Audi (P13) – 6/10
A quiet, somewhat unrewarding afternoon for the Brazilian. Starting 12th on an alternative tyre strategy, Bortoleto needed the VSC to fall at a favorable time, but the timing completely killed his chances. He drove cleanly, kept his nose out of trouble, and brought the Audi home safely, even if there were no real fireworks along the way.
