Vettel missed out on increasing his championship lead

Kimi Raikkonen - 2nd

It is somewhat been a mixed weekend for Kimi Raikkonen.

His hot lap in qualifying was very close to placing him in pole position until he lost his steering causing heartbreak for the 2007 world champion.

Raikkonen had a bumpy start when he clashed into Ocon on the opening lap. The Force India driver had to retire but the collision was okay for Raikkonen's car as he was able to continue.

It is Raikkonen's third podium of the season so far but still can't get that race win for Ferrari since he rejoined the team in 2014.

Driver's rating: 6/10

Sebastian Vettel - 4th

It's a race that could have been something more for Sebastian Vettel after he missed out on winning the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for the very first time.

The man who claimed pole position the day before the race was controlling the race smoothly and looked to be the favourite to win his third race of the season.

But after the restart, it all went downhill for the four-time world champion.

Vettel did attempt to retake the lead when trying to overtake race leader Bottas on turn one but his tyres locked up and failed to take the number one position.

And with Perez beating the German to a podium place, Vettel will look back at the weekend as a missed opportunity to increase his lead in the driver's championship.

Driver's rating: 6/10
