Max Verstappen - 4th

It could have been a 7th podium finish in a row for Red Bull's Max Verstappen when he was catching a damaged Charles Leclerc Ferrari.

But instead the two Renaults retired out of the race at the wrong time as the safety car was put in place and we all know what that means - no overtaking.

Verstappen is now third in the driver's championship by picking up 3rd and 4th so far this season and could be a dark horse for the driver's championship.

Maybe a 5th member of the title race...

Driver rating - 6/10


Pierre Gasly - 8th

Oh, how Pierre Gasly would have wanted a repeat of the 2018 Bahrain Grand Prix where he finished 4th for Toro Rosso.

Instead, he finished four places back in a Red Bull this time around.

Gasly struggled in qualifying again by not reaching Q3 while his teammate had no problems.

Not the best of starts from the young Frenchman but he is getting there.

Driver rating - 5/10
