Ferrari once again destroyed its own chances of success all by itself. PDO
Max Verstappen
He drove so gently on the medium tires that the Dutchman didn’t have to go to the pit before the rain came. Waiting for the right moment robbed Fernando Alonso of even the slightest possibility of surprise. The championship fight seems to be already over.
Esteban Ocon
The Frenchman only reached the podium for the third time in his career. It didn’t take any feats, but of course Ocon had to keep a cool head in the changing circumstances. The result gives peace of mind to the entire Alpine team.

Esteban Ocon is a rare sight on the F1 podium. PDO
Fernando Alonso
At Aston Martin, you played the rich or the poor. This time, the gamble paid off when Alonso took second place. It is his best result since the 2014 Hungarian GP.
Lance Stroll
Teammate Alonso was Verstappen’s only threat in the fight for victory. Stroll made a fool of himself at the end of the hose already in the opening lap, and only the final suspension saved him from greater humiliation.
Ferrari
The weekend once again revealed the tactical poverty of the Italian giant. Of course, Carlos Sainz’s overzealous overtaking attempt, from which he only got a broken front wing, also contributed to the disappointment. The views can already be transferred to next year.
Kevin Magnussen
The Dane was forgotten on the track with dry weather tires, and the track was accordingly. The Haas driver limped into the pits through a couple of wall contacts, but couldn’t get his car to stay on the track even with tires designed for monsoon rain.
