Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac (DNF) – 3/10
Bottas spun out in the opening laps of the race while trying to generate heat in slick tyres on a greasy track, ending his race before it even properly began. Taking a tactical gamble on slick rubber was a defensible roll of the dice for Cadillac, but throwing the machine into the scenery is unforgivable for a driver of his experience. A brief, messy outing to forget.
Alex Albon, Williams (DNF) – 5.5/10
A deeply frustrating afternoon for the Anglo-Thai driver, who fought gamely despite dealing with persistent brake hydraulics issues. He carved his way into eighth early on with smart inter choices, but a clumsy double-stack pit stop and flat-spotted tyres hampered his momentum before Williams eventually retired the car to avoid further damage. Solid effort, but gremlins doomed his day.
