Here are our scores for all 19 drivers that took part in the Australian Grand Prix.

For the first time in 10 races someone not called Max Verstappen won a race as Carlos Sainz impressed Down Under.

It was the 14th podium for the 24-year-old and one which means he tops the table for most top three finishes without a win.Could have potentially got himself on the podium had it not been for a mistake midway through the race. Still a step behind Alonso but in the same way Perez operates for Red Bull, a healthy points score is what Aston Martin will be after with the Canadian.A lot of focus has been on Yuki Tsunoda’s team-mate of late but the Japanese driver once again showed that if one of them will still be at the team in 2025, it should be him.

He played with fire at the end when, in his attempt to keep Russell behind, he appeared to brake test the Brit and was then summoned to the stewards. He was then handed a 20-second penalty for potentially dangerous driving.Double points for Haas represent just how far they have come as a team over the winter break.

When it comes to rating Stake F1 drivers, it is becoming increasingly hard considering they are not the ones at fault for their race going off track.
