F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Lance Stroll, Aston Martin (DNF / P22) – 3.5/10

Starting from the back row following power unit penalties, Stroll barely had time to settle into his rhythm before his engine threw a spatial tantrum. A rapid loss of water pressure forced a mandatory pit lane retirement just seven laps into the afternoon. Completely blameless for the hardware failure, though his lackluster qualifying display on Saturday ensured he was already facing an uphill battle.

 

Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin (DNF / P21) – 4/10

The veteran sliced past both Cadillacs on the opening lap with characteristic bravado, doing everything humanly possible to mask a painfully weak package. Regrettably, his heroics were curtailed on lap 20 when his engine lost all top-end punch. He loses marks for slamming into the barrier during Saturday's qualifying session, even if his Sunday demise was strictly out of his hands.
