F1 Spanish GP Driver Ratings: Hamilton and Mercedes dominate, Ferrari Struggles

#5 Toro Rosso

Toro Rosso's in action

Daniil Kvyat- 9th

One wonders, whether calling the 2019 Spanish Grand Prix as a bit of a redemption for the Russian driver would make for a valid assessment?

For a driver who's often been lamented and even bombarded with scathing criticisms, most arguing that his overzealous moves on the track are only counter-productive (and nothing beyond that), Kvyat's P9 at Spain did prove a point or two.

Not only did it tell his critics that there was more this 'Torpedo' than just crashing into the others, but also that the young Russian driver could very well make a move or two on the grid.

And to that end, it is only fair to call his pass on Kimi Raikkonen as among the best moments of the 2019 race at Spain. Isn't it?

Driver Rating- 7/10

Alex Albon- 11th

The Thai-British driver was not able to collect a single point from the race. But throughout the contest, the inexperienced albeit talented driver kept on trying to get into the top-ten on the grid.

But what must also be shared is the fact that even as Albon didn't collect a point, he ended up much better than the likes of Raikkonen and Kubica, two drivers that are much more experienced than the F1 newcomer.

Moreover, Albon, who clearly found himself struggling in the race found out that he was no match for the likes of Haas, a team with which he's contested well at Bahrain and other tracks.

Driver Rating- 6/10
