Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (P2) – 9/10
Leclerc put on a clinic in racecraft. After a messy Saturday left him fourth, he drove like a man possessed, fighting Verstappen early before pulling off blistering late passes on both Norris and Max on the hard compound. He ran out of laps to catch Antonelli, but this was a magnificent recovery drive.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P1) – 10/10
A masterclass from the young Italian. Antonelli led from pole, extended his medium stint with remarkable finesse, and stroked his Mercedes home 13 seconds clear of the field. Flawless, unflappable, and entirely dominant—this was the drive of a future World Champion asserting his total authority over the grid.
