168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen - 9.5

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris - 9.5

Norris continues to star in the upgrꦐaded McLaren. He lost out to his teammate on the opening lap as he was pinned in by the lead duo of Verstappen and Hamilton. However, his pace once he got ahead after the first round of stops was outstanding, fending Perez off late on♌.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez - 6.5

N෴inth in qualifying for Perez was below-par yet again for the Mexican. To his cr🦂edit, he looked more ‘on it’ during the race with some stunning overtakes on Piastri and Russell.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton - 9

A breathtaking qualifying performance handed Hamilton his first pole in 33 races. He threw it away with an average start, bullied by Verstappen into Turn 1 which meant he lost out to the two McLarens. His pace iꦉn the race was still strong though.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri - 7.5

Not quite at his teammate’s level in Hun🍸gary, Piastri’s pace fell apart as the race progressed. CEO Zak Brown did reveal that he did sustain some damage in the race which explains his significant 🍒drop-off.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell - 7

A go▨od recovery from Russell after yet an♑other dismal qualifying - not all his fault given Mercedes poor planning in Q1.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc - 7

The lead Ferrari dr𓆏iver this weekend. His rating is affected by his speeding penalty which cause him to lose a place to Russell.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz - 6.5

Sainz failed to reach Q3 for the first time in F1 2023. Ultimately, he was a step behind 💯his team🦩mate’s pace.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso - 8

Aston Martin were the fifth-fastest car in Hungary and Alonso 🅘go🦹t the most out of it. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll - 6

Another poor qualifying display from Stroll at the Hungaroring༺. However, he made amends on Sunday to finish behind his veteran teammate.

Alex Albon - 7

Hungary was never going to suit Williams so Albon deserved plaudits for finishing 11th, defending heavily from the🀅 quicker Alfa Romeo of Bottas in the fඣinal stint of the race.

Valtteri Bottas - 6.5

Edged out by tea🌼mmate Zhou in qualifying, Bottas’ race was undone by a poor Lap 1. His initial start wasn’t the issue but he lacked any speed in the run down to the first corner. 11th was the maximum for him in 𝔍Hungary had he been more aggressive.

Daniel Ricciardo - 7.5

You can’t be too critical of Ricciardo’𒆙s F1 comᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeback. He out-qualified and out-raced teammate Tsunoda. His 40-lap stint on the mediums to finish 13th - having been at the back following a Lap 1 tangle - was mighty. 

Nico Hulkenberg - 6.5

Another tidy weekend ๊from Hulkenberg, who continues to h💜ave Magnussen at arm’s length in 2023. The Haas didn’t have the pace to contend for the points.

Yuki Tsunoda - 5

Given it was Ricciardo’s first weekend in the car, there’s ༺no excuse for Tsunoda to have been out-performed by him. He needs to avoid many more of these weekends or he might find himself off the grid for 2024.

Zhou Guanyu - 5.5

Alongside Hamilton, 😼Zhou was the star of qualifying with fifth. His good work was completely ruined by his start, where he seem𒁏ed to miss-time the lights and the start procedure. He clattered 

Kevin Magnussen - 5

An anonymous weekend from K-Mag in Hungary. Never at Hulkenberg’༒s level, especially ove💜r one-lap.

Logan Sargeant - 4.5

A recurring theme at Williams is Sargeant lagging well behind the ever-impressive Al⛦bon.ಞ Like Magnussen, never a threat to his own teammate.

Esteban Ocon - 6.5

Ahead of Gasly in qualifying, Ocon’s race was completely ruined by an incident out🧸 of his con꧟trol.

Pierre Gasly - 6

It looked like Gasly had the edge over Ocon in practice but he didn’t deliver when it mattered in Q2. He was ultim꧃ately faultless for the Lap 1 incident 🧸which put him out of the race.

Pierre Gasly (FRA) Alpine F1 Team A523. Formula 1 World Championship, Rd 12, Hungarian Grand Prix, Budapest, Hungary,
