Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (P10) – 7/10
The rookie displayed composure well beyond his years. After a pre-race throttle glitch on the formation lap, he trusted the team's call to start on intermediates and settled in. Despite admitting to a few minor mistakes mid-race, Lindblad kept his cool during late Safety Car restarts and pulled off crucial overtakes in the dying laps to snatch a point.
Lando Norris, McLaren (P9) – 5/10
A miserable day at the office for Norris. McLaren's decision to start him on slicks completely backfired, dropping him down the order. While the Safety Car threw him a lifeline and brought him back into contention alongside Piastri, an uncharacteristic mistake saw him slide off the track under neutralised conditions late on. A scrappy, error-strewn weekend.
