Arvid Lindblad collected a 7 out of 10 rating after his qualifying was cut short by a mechanical problem in his Racing Bulls car.
Further power-unit changes left him starting well down the order before he recovered well to 11th, coming extremely close to the points.
Fernando Alonso earned an 8 out of 10 after reaching Q3 for the first time this season, boosting Aston Martin's standing. He raced well enough to get ahead of Lewis Hamilton with a spectacular move on track, finishing 12th overall.
Franco Colapinto took a 6.5 out of 10 as Alpine struggled badly in the wet qualifying session. Colapinto made a reasonable recovery to finish ahead of team-mate Pierre Gasly in a battle that eventually earned Audi driver Nico Hulkenberg a penalty.
Pierre Gasly received a 5.5 out of 10 following a disappointing weekend after both Alpines went out in Q1. Starting from 16th on the grid, he climbed slightly higher but ended up behind Colapinto without ever mounting a serious challenge for the points.
Albon Reaches Q3 Before Falling Back on Sunday
Alex Albon secured a 7 out of 10 after Saturday proved to be the highlight when he reached Q3 for the first time this season. That effort earned him ninth on the grid, though the race went the opposite way as he fell back to 15th in the Williams.
Gabriel Bortoleto was handed a 5 out of 10 after showing good speed before qualifying. However, his crash in the Audi during Q1 put him on the back foot for his home race.
Oliver Bearman earned a 5.5 out of 10 following a really strong Saturday that put his Haas eighth in qualifying and sixth on the grid. Sunday was a completely different story, however, as he tumbled out of contention and eventually finished 17th.
Sergio Perez scored a 5 out of 10 after starting last because of an engine penalty that made progress difficult from the outset. Driving a clean race, he gained several spots aboard his Cadillac and crossed the line ahead of both a Williams and a Haas.
| Driver | Team | Rating | Race Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fernando Alonso | Aston Martin | 8/10 | P12 |

Sainz, Camara and Stroll Struggle During the Weekend
Carlos Sainz collected a 4.5 out of 10 after being unlucky to have his Q2 attempt interrupted by a red flag just as he switched to intermediate tires. Sunday offered little opportunity for recovery.
Rafael Camara logged a 5.5 out of 10, displaying plenty of raw speed on his F1 debut in the Haas alongside a steep learning curve. Reaching Q2 in those conditions proved impressive, although two qualifying incidents and a difficult race left him 20th.
Lance Stroll received a 4 out of 10 after dropping out in Q1. He never looked capable of matching Aston Martin team-mate Alonso across the weekend.
Valtteri Bottas took a 4.5 out of 10 after qualifying 20th before promotion a couple of places on the grid. His race was over before it had even begun when Cadillac retired his car with a technical problem, leaving Sunday impossible to judge.
