5 Hard to judge qualifying given Mercedes was so poor. While the stewards declared a first-lap racing incident, the onboards plainly show Hamilton didn’t leave Alonso enough room on the inside, even if the Brit was sufficiently alongside by the letter of the law. A weekend to forget.

8 Was a contender for a nine to reflect finishing ahead of both quicker Alpines and a Ferrari as Mercedes endured a shocker. Dealt a difficult hand, but was three tenths adrift of Hamilton on Saturday to slip to an eight here. It was then another comparatively lonely race as Merc took a marked step back.
