Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (P4) – 8.5/10
Leclerc’s race looked dead and buried on lap five after a disastrous decision to start on slicks forced an early pit stop for inters and a new front wing, leaving him dead last. What followed was a brilliant charge through the field, capped off by a sharp late move on Hadjar. Without the wing damage, a win was on the cards.
Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari (P3) – 9.5/10
A masterclass in patience and tyre management. Caught on soft slicks in the opening wet laps, Hamilton tumbled to 17th, over a minute off the lead. Rather than panicking, he nursed his tyres until the track dried, unleashed blistering pace on a marathon stint, and sliced through the field to claim an unlikely podium. Sir Lewis at his absolute finest.
