Max Verstappen - 8th place, 4 points - 8/10

Verstappen suffered the same problem as team-mate Ricciardo, but the fact he erased a seven-place deficit on the grid to finish ninth on the road shows how well he dealt with the situation. Verstappen was ragged in Monaco but controlled around the Baku City Circuit, especially considering he had to climb back from as low as 17th place after his second stop. Looked at home on the medium tyre and made impressive progress - setting the third fastest lap of the race - to catch Ricciardo by the flag.
