1. Lando Norris-

This may be the best performance of Lando’s career yet. He took a commanding pole position and proceeded to drive away from the rest of the field. It was a truly dominant and faultless display, one Lando has proven he is capable of. If Lando became a more consistent driver and delivered on this potential every weekend, he’d easily be championship material.

2. Max Verstappen-

It feels odd to sing Max Verstappen’s praises for coming in second, so used we are to seeing him dominate the rest of the field. But, in a car that has not been performing well at all in recent races, Max got the absolute maximum out of it, qualifying just behind Lando Norris and finishing comfortably ahead of every driver not named Lando Norris.

3. Fernando Alonso-

Fernando had a quiet but commanding performance in Singapore to finish at the top of the midfield. These performances are becoming common in 2024 and whilst I wish that Aston Martin was closer to the podium, Fernando is still one of the most consistent drivers in the sport.

4. Nico Hulkenberg-

Nico Hulkenberg is probably regretting leaving Haas at this point in the season, because his stint with the US outfit has really revitalized his career. And yet again, Nico maximized, qualifying in sixth and finishing the race in ninth place to take two more points for the team. Haas is slowly catching up to RB and will probably catch them with a few more point finishes.

5. Franco Colapinto-

Franco Colapinto is continuing to impress in his rookie races for Williams. He made a fantastic divebomb at turn one to put himself into the points, after only being narrowly outqualified by his teammate. Whilst strategy made it so that Franco missed out on consecutive points finishes, he only finished just outside of the points in eleventh. For his third race, the hardest race of the year, this performance was fantastic.
