F1 Chinese GP Driver Ratings: Lewis Hamilton rules at Shanghai, Ferrari play catch-up to Mercedes

#6 Toro Rosso: Alexander Albon - 10th

F1 Grand Prix of China

For a driver who began his 2019 Chinese GP from the pit-lane, ending up on tenth at a track that's not the easiest to race on anyway, there was hardly a surprise that the Thai-British driver was rightly awarded the Driver of the Day accolade!

F1 found a great reason to cheer and as for fans, perhaps a new emerging star to back in what turned out to be the only points for the Toro Rosso stable, the solitary point which came at the back of Albon's very mature and collected drive.

Driver Rating: 7.5/10

Daniil Kvyat - DNF

F1 Grand Prix of China

If there were ever a concept like "Villainous performance of the day" then, Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat may surely have won that - especially at the back of his 2019 Chinese GP drive.

Not only did Kvyat hamper the race of both McLaren's, suffering a drive through penalty himself, it didn't help his cause one bit that he retired in the end, thus gathering no points whatsoever. Ever heard something called karma, Daniil?

Driver Rating: 3/10
