Leclerc after suffering a retirement from the race

Charles Leclerc - DNF

A bad day for Charles Leclerc after receiving a DNF after finishing 6th the weekend before at the Russian Grand Prix.

Leclerc retired on lap 38 after a collision with Haas' Kevin Magnussen. The Dane went to pit to fix his puncture but no luck after the 8th lap while Leclerc had to accept retirement from the race.

Driver's rating: 1/10

Marcus Ericsson - 12th

It may not have been the result Marcus Ericsson wanted going into the weekend but at least he brought the car home for his team.

Ericsson suffered a collision in qualifying which saw him start the race from the back of the grid.

But the Swede was able to climb up the leaderboard to 12th place.
