Spanish GP driver ratings: Rare Lewis Hamilton score, Perez and Sargeant flop

While the Spanish Grand Prix didn’t provide a slew of spicy on-track moments, the Formula 1 race was a compelling one from a strategy perspective and that, in turn, provided some compelling drives.

Norris instructed his McLaren team to put him on a strategy that could challenge leader Max Verstappen rather than merely settle for a lowly podium position, and the team followed suit by calling him in for soft tyres just after Verstappen’s final stop. His later swap to the hard tyres for the final stint of the race failed to result in any shocks; Russell lamented that the tyre “does not feel good,” simultaneously offering some feedback for other teams looking to swap to the hard rubber, as well as opening himself up to a pass by Hamilton.

Leclerc maintains that the damage prevented him from mounting any significant challenge on Russell for fourth place — but he did manage to pass his own teammate without making contact later in the race.Carlos Sainz Jr. is driving for his future, but unfortunately, that left him making mistakes and succumbing to frustration.
