1. Lando Norris-

Lando had a fantastic weekend at Zandvoort. He took a mighty pole position and then converted that into a decisive win. Whilst the start did not go perfectly, Lando more than made up for that for the rest of the race. This may be Lando’s best race in F1 so far and is a great way to respond to the criticism he’s received for his performances this year.

2. Charles Leclerc-

Leclerc had a fantastic Dutch Grand Prix, taking the fourth fastest car all the way to the podium. Bolstered by a fantastic strategy and a perfect pit stop, Leclerc put that Ferrari in a place it shouldn’t have been and deserves all the plaudits in the world for it.

3. Carlos Sainz-

Sainz did not have a very good qualifying, placing his Ferrari in P11. But, in the race, he made great progress, finishing in front of cars he wouldn’t have expected to given his grid position. Whilst not the highlight Ferrari performance of the weekend, Sainz still delivered a solid race, better than most of the frontrunners.

4. Pierre Gasly-

Gasly placed himself as the king of the midfield this weekend, after a fantastic start that saw him jump both Aston Martins. Whilst not being able to keep the front running cars behind in his Alpine, Gasly still scored two points for the team, which could prove incredibly valuable in a tight midfield.

5. Fernando Alonso-

It feels strange to call a tenth place a success for Fernando Alonso, given his podium heroics last year. Yet, in a car that is fundamentally not fast enough to beat the midfield, Alonso still proves a consistent performer to place that car in the points. One can only hope Aston can improve their car, as we deserve to see Fernando fighting at the front of the field.
