Formula 1

No perfect scores but plenty of star performers alongside a host of underperformers in Edd Straw's Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 driver ratings.

Went into qualifying slightly undercooked after his FP1 crash meant he missed FP2. But after flirting with disaster in Q1 in 15th place, completing just a single six-lap run and aborting his final lap after a sideways moment. But he would have needed a big improvement in the third sector to have made Q2 given an untidy run through the middle part of the lap. Briefly got up to 14th in the first stint after passing Russell, but dropped back after making his pitstop on lap 16 having already slipped behind the Mercedes driver. But he found the Aston Martin to be working better in Miami than in previous races. But he couldn’t find the same performance step his team-mate did at the end of Q3, ending up a quarter of a second slower – mainly thanks to time lost through Turn 7/8. Verdict: Hit form with a superb Q3 lap and was denied a decent result by the Alonso collision. Gasly appeared to be struggling and at risk of being unqualified by team-mate Tsunoda, only to pull a superb lap out of the bag on his final Q3 run. Climbed to seventh at the start after capitalising on the grip he spotted on the outside line while on the drivers’ parade. Ocon was unable to participate in qualifying thanks to cracking the monocoque in an FP3 shunt. But without Sainz, who did what he could to get out of the way, would have been in Q3 given he was only 0.036s off. Third-fastest in Q2 was an illusion, but Norris did leave two or three positions on the table in Q3 after failing to improve on his final run using soft tyres. Briefly ran 11th early on before being passed by Schumacher and Magnussen, gaining a place from Tsunoda and losing one to Russell later in the stint.
