Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari (P6) – 5/10
Hamilton spent his race floating in no man's land, battling stubborn tyre warm-up issues and top-speed deficits. While he drove cleanly to harvest eight points, he was out-qualified by Leclerc and never once looked capable of making a dent on the podium battle ahead. A thoroughly uninspiring afternoon at the office.
Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P5) – 7.5/10
Following a dismal qualifying session, Antonelli mounted a strong - albeit prudent - comeback drive. He dodged the restart carnage, nursed a damaged floor, and sliced through eleven positions on a tight street circuit. Admitting he "drove like his grandmother" shows humility, but P5 was a masterclass in damage limitation, even if his Saturday errors created the mess.
