F1 Australian GP Driver Ratings: Ferrari pace is worrying

Modified Mar 17, 2019 11:07 GMT

Now this is a driver not many thought they'd see come back to Formula One after the departure from Toro Rosso in 2017.

But times have changed with Red Bull's sister team needing a seat to fill and they've offered Kvyat the opportunity to prove himself.

And the Russian has started off very well by scoring a point for himself and the team by finishing in 10th place on Sunday.

Could we see a different Kvyat in 2019?

Driver rating - 5/10

It was a debut Formula One race for Thailand's Alexander Albon.

A driver's name not many motorsport fans will recognise but it certainly helps put Thailand on the F1 map.

Albon did out-qualify his team mate Kvyat on Saturday by starting the race two positions higher than the Russian in 13th.

But Albon maybe a little disappointed to have finished one place lower than where he started at lights out.

Yet again, this was his first ever race in F1.

Driver rating - 3/10
