168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen - 10 

The reigning world champion was the class act of the field as he started 2023 in the same manner he finished 2022 with an unstoppable performance. Verstappen didn’t put a foot wrong all weekend as he easily converted p🎃ole into his first win in Bahrain. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez - 9

Perez recovered well from a bad start to fight back past Leclerc’s Ferrari but by that stage he was well adrift of Verstappen and was never in content🧸ion for the win. Nevertheless, the Mexican helped seal a perfect result💛 for Red Bull with a strong drive. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso - 10

A beast of a drive from Alonso, who fought back from a challenging first lap to charge past both Mercedes and a Ferrari on his way to claiming a best-of-the-rest behind the dominant Red Bulls. Full marks forꦅ the 41-year-old Spaniard. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz - 8

It proved a tough evening for Sainz who ultimately finished where he started as the sole-surviving Ferrari. A solid drive but Sainz will be disappointed to have missed out to Alonso late on, but did enoug📖h to keep Hamilton Mercedes’ at bay. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton - 8 

Fifth place was probably the best Mercedes could have hoped for going into the race, and that was exactly where Hamilton finished, eve♛n if there was a slice of fortune involved. 💞Much of Hamilton’s good work was done on a brilliant opening lap but he was ultimately powerless to keep the faster Alonso behind, despite a valiant effort. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll - 10 

A heroic performance all weekend from the injured Stroll, who reached Q3 and beat a Mercedes in an impressive run to P6 despite nursing a broken wrist and toe. A competitive showing considering the Canadian missed testing and only had surgery two♛ weeks ago!

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell - 7

A sluggish getaway ultimately cost Russell. Despite being the quicker of the two Mercౠedes drivers at times, falling behind Hamilton meant he missed out on the preferential strategy♛ and was undercut by Stroll’s Aston Martin. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas - 9

Bottas made instant progress to ga🍬in four places on an excellent opening lap. The Finn never looked back and was rewarded for a great race with eighth place and four points for Alfa Romeo. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly - 9

A drive of the day contender from Gasly, who went under the radar as he recover𒁃ed from a disappointing qualifying and back of the grid start to rise into the points on his Alpine debut. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon - 10

Albon claimed the final point on offer with a phenomenal drive. Having capi♒talisedဣ on a strong strategy, Albon brilliantly held off Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri and give Williams a positive start to 2023. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda - 7

Will have been frustrated to miss out on points to the slowest car of tes🌜ting but it was nevertheless a solid race for Tsunoda, who comfortably had the upper hand over his new teammate all weekend. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant - 9 

Sargeant was unfortunate not to join Williams teammate Alb🐈on in Q2 ♈but did a fantastic job on his F1 debut to finish as the highest-placed rookie. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen - 7

Magnussen made solid progress from 17th by running an alternative strategy from the start in what was a challenging race for H൩aas. Couldꦬ have been in contention for the points with a better qualifying. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries - 6

A decent-enough second F1 debut for de Vries, tho💮𝓡ugh there were no points up for grabs this time around as he took 14th, having been hampered by strategy. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg - 6

Hulkenberg’s full-time return started with promise as he reached Q3 but all that good work was undone in a first-lap tangle that left h💯im with front wing damage and saw him fall down the order. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu - 6

Zhou’s hopes of points were ruined by a poor start that saw him drop four spots on the opening lap. Was unable to recover but was at least able to ensure rivals Alpine didn’t pick up a bon🦋us point by snatching the fastest lap late on. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris - 8 

There was no rౠeward for Norris de🍸spite a big effort in a luckless race. Hamstrung by a pneumatic issue with his engine that required multiple trips to the pits, Norris persevered in what turned out to be a data-gathering excessive for McLaren and brought his car home in 17th, two laps down. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon - 3

It was a shocking Sunday for Ocon who equalled an unwanted record as he picked up a hat-trick of 🌼almost comical driving penalties. Retirement brought Ocon’s miserable evening to an end. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc - N/A

Waꦛs never a threat to Verstappen but was in a good battle for second plꩲace with the second Red Bull of Perez until the engine in his Ferrari gave up. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri - N/A 

Unfair toܫ judge this rookie givenꦿ his race was cut short early on due to an “underlying electrical problem”.
