Esteban Ocon, Haas (P8) – 7.5/10
Starting 14th, Ocon produced a clever, opportunistic drive through the Baku attrition. He picked his moments wisely on safety car restarts and worked seamlessly with team orders to lock down a double-points bag for Haas. Giving up a position after cutting a corner was overly cautious, but otherwise it was a highly polished Sunday drive.
Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (P7) – 5.5/10
Seventh place looks brilliant on paper, but the backstory tells a much messier tale. After crashing in Friday practice, the rookie committed a cardinal sin by spinning his teammate Lawson on a restart, heavily damaging both cars. A late surge past the Haas cars saved his afternoon, but six points don't erase a weekend littered with wild misjudgments.
