As well as our driver ratings, PlanetF1 will also be ranking each F1 team's performances following every grand prix.
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.
The only small blot on their copy book was a slightly slow pitstop for Perez which almost saw him run over his own jack man.As it’s the first race of the season, this rating may reflect some of the work done by the team over the winter break but what an astounding performance from Aston Martin considering where they were last season.
Lewis Hamilton may have got past Alonso during the opening laps but that was largely due to the hit the Spaniard was given from his own team-mate and as the race wore on, the clearly much quicker AMR23 was able to get past both Mercedes cars. Points also docked for a bizarre decision to not allow Leclerc a crack at the fastest lap in qualifying as they wanted to save a set of softs for the race itself. Whether Ferrari had planned to pit him late on for those softs we will never know as he was back in the paddock before given a chance.A good day out for Alfa Romeo all things considered as they fill the ‘best of the rest’ spot that has previously been reserved for Lando Norris.
