Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls (DNF / P18) – 8/10
A breakout performance cruelly cut short. The rookie was driving with immense swagger as the top midfield runner, holding off bigger names with supreme confidence until a clumsy lunging attempt from Piastri launched Lindblad out of the running. A painful exit, but his raw pace shone brightly.
Pierre Gasly, Alpine (P17) – 5/10
Gasly drove a sturdy, disciplined Grand Prix inside the points calculation right up until the white-glove enforcement kicked in. Slapped with a late post-race time penalty for a yellow-flag infringement, his hard work vanished in the stewards' office, dropping him into the abyss of the classified order.
