Again them. Super victory by Sergio Perez who finished in front of Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso. Confirmed, albeit with different positions, the podium of Bahrain if it weren't for the penalty inflicted at the end of the match on Alonso. Let's find out together the report cards of the top ten of the second GP of the season.
GP Saudi Arabia, the report cards
Sergio Perez
Sumptuous performance. There's not much to say: the Mexican led the race undisturbed. Vote 10.
Max Verstappen
He drives a spaceship and is really formidable. There was no doubt the safety car's luck, but with his RB19 it's really unmissable. Vote 10.
George Russell
He had excellent race management and, thanks to Alonso's penalty, he also enjoys his first podium of the season. Grade 9.
Off the podium
Fernando Alonso
Once again, after the Red Bulls, there's him. On the same wavelength as Bahrain. A real shame the penalty arrived after the race. Grade 9.
Lewis Hamilton
After a very difficult weekend, it wasn't easy to think of climbing into the top five anyway, finishing ahead of both Ferraris. Different strategy, considering having started with the whites, but effective. Grade 8.
Carlos Sainz
The strategy was not wrong but the problem lies in a car that goes slower than the others. Grade 5.
Charles Leclerc
The comeback has been made. He started twelfth, with the soft tire he managed to recover a couple of positions. He couldn't do more than that with this car, but obviously that's not enough. Rating 6.5.
Esteban Ocon
Constant throughout the weekend, both him and his teammate. They bring home an excellent top ten, definitively forgetting Bahrain. Grade 7.
Pierre Gasly
Ninth square, as well as in Bahrain. The feeling with the car grows more and more. There is still work to be done, but it is certainly a good starting point. Grade 6.
Kevin Magnussen
It was a beautiful fight against Yuki Tsunoda. In the end, he managed to bring home his first point of the season, which is especially important for the team. Grade 7.
