It was another weekend of positivity at Red Bull, but for Alpine, things were much tougher going. F1 AzerbaijanGP Formula1
For those of you familiar with our driver ratings, the format will largely be the same but with some key differences as to what ratings will be awarded for.
Continuing their usual ploy of concentrating on race pace as opposed to qualifying prowess, Red Bull had performance and reliability – the only misstep being on Verstappen’s side of the garage with a setup that he wasn’t fully happy with, a symptom of the Sprint weekend format. However, like Red Bull, one side of the garage was less happy with their car setup. Carlos Sainz was extremely unhappy with the handling of his car throughout the weekend, having gone the wrong direction entirely in Friday practice.
But the team responded excellently on race day, with a strong start and some cunning overtaking from Alonso moving him into fourth place and, had the race been a lap or two longer, might have even continued his podium streak. The W14 may have had some upgraded parts fitted for the event, but both Hamilton and Russell struggled to keep pace with Ferrari and Aston Martin, let alone Red Bull.
