Gabriel Bortoleto, Audi (P16) – 4/10
Home turf pressure didn't rattle the young Brazilian, who put together a tidy, error-free afternoon. Trapped in a DRS train for large swaths of the race, his lap times in clear air on intermediate rubber were surprisingly crisp. A quiet building block of a weekend.
Alex Albon, Williams (P15) – 3.5/10
The Williams looked like a handful through the twisty sectors, but Albon did himself no favors. While his wet-weather pace was decent early on, blowing the braking zone into Turn 2 and rejoining blindly into Gasly’s path was reckless, earning a deserving penalty and wrecking his race.
