Lance Stroll, Aston Martin (P12) – 5.5/10
A quiet, tidy drive from Stroll, who crossed the finish line on the lead lap for the first time this season. He navigated the early tyre chaos cleanly and ran inside the top ten through the middle stint. However, his pace faded severely on the hard compound late in the race, dropping him out of the points. Respectable, but lacked late bite.
Nico Hülkenberg, Audi (P11) – 6/10
Hülkenberg put in a trademark relentless shift for Audi. A slick-tyre gamble at the start backfired, but he minimized the bleeding by pitting early for inters. He was well on track to snatch a point until a jammed wheel gun during a front-wing adjustment cost him vital seconds. He finished just outside the rewards, maximizing a difficult car.
