Max Verstappen - 9
Red Bull requires absolute perfection to beat Mercedes even when the world champion squad is struggling. It certainly got it on race day, but Verstappen's qualifying defeat to Hulkenberg for third on the grid just costs him a perfect score. He was sublime in the race, with enough spare mental bandwidth to tease his engineer for the second consecutive race.
Lewis Hamilton - 7
Hamilton was the slower of the two Mercedes drivers in the first stint on the problematic mediums and on the hards early in stint two, and he more than likely only ended up back in front of Bottas because he had a shorter final stint. Was clearly not happy to be beaten in qualifying, which also brings his score down.
