1. Max Verstappen-

Along with Imola, this race has to go down as one of Verstappen’s greatest victories. In the trickiest of conditions, no driver was perfect, but Verstappen made the least mistakes, in a car that seldom appeared the fastest.

2. George Russell-

George may have made a few mistakes throughout the race, but it was still a fabulous performance. In a track that his teammate has often excelled at, George once again proved that he is currently the fastest and most reliable Mercedes driver, to duly deliver his team their first podium of the year.

3. Alexander Albon-

Whilst a late spin from Sainz took Albon out of the race, he reminded everyone the fighter he is with his performance throughout the race. In particular, his double overtake on Ricciardo and Ocon, where he slipped through the tiniest gap in the middle of the two cars, was sublime.

4. Daniel Ricciardo-

After justified criticism from Jacques Villeneuve, Daniel decided to show up this week, qualifying in fifth and finishing the race in eighth, despite a jump start penalty. It was a solid performance and if Daniel can keep these up, he will justify why he should stay in Formula One.

5. Alpine-

I’m breaking my rules again and giving half a point to each of the Alpine drivers. Esteban Ocon drove from the back of the grid into the points, which is always worth a shout out and Pierre Gasly also delivered a points finish. Despite a post-race controversy about a controversial driver swap at the end of the race, both drivers showed their talents still shine through in a bad car.
