Oscar Piastri, McLaren (P6) – 5/10
While his teammate orchestrated a masterclass out front, Piastri was an afterthought. Evading Russell’s spinning Mercedes was commendable, but finishing nearly a full minute adrift of Norris in identical equipment is impossible to gloss over. A completely anonymous Sunday when the car clearly had winning pedigree.
Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P5) – 6/10
Kimi's raw speed was undeniable - he set the fastest lap and pulled clear early - but the pressure cooked him. Cracking under Norris’s pursuit and swapping ends at Turn 1 flushed a potential victory down the drain. Throw in a hazardous pit release (by his Mercedesteam), and it becomes a weekend of rich potential ruined by costly rookie missteps.
