Crash.net's F1 driver ratings for the Australian Grand Prix.
A sublime weekend from Sainz on his return from surgery. While he did make a mistake on his best qualifying lap in Q3, he was consistently quicker than Ferrari teammate Leclerc. It was the same in the race - and even if Verstappen didn’t DNF - Sainz would have likely pushed the reigning world champion hard for the victory.Unfortunately for Leclerc, a rare off weekend coincided with Verstappen’s first DNF in two years.
He was penalised after the race for"potentially dangerous" driving - dropping him from P6 to P8.After a rare underperformance in qualifying, Hulkenberg put together a good race to come away with points for the second time this season. Remarkably, it’s the first time he’s scored points in back-to-back races since 2019.Magnussen wasn’t as quick as Hulkenberg in the race, playing the team game when Haas issued team orders. However, he did enough to come away with a point.
