F1 | Austrian GP report cards – Verstappen is angry, Leclerc does his best, Vettel fights

Max Verstappen 10 cum laude The sixth career victory is a pearl of talent and competitiveness. He makes up for the reverse start with a spectacular race, mercilessly overtaking noble rivals and giving the tide Orange the thrilling duel with Leclerc. With the icing on the cake: the fastest lap. FURY

Charles Leclerc 9,5 Pole and second place, he does everything to perfection and can do little against the wrath of Verstappen who flies with a Red Bull that in the final phase of the GP goes twice as fast as the SF90. Charles tries to defend himself with his nails. And he sees his first victory slip away for the second time this season. PIERCED

Valtteri Bottas 8 Limit the damage with a Mercedes racing in Austria with boat oars. IT MAKES WOOD

Sebastian Vettel 8,5 It wasn't easy to keep calm after the failure in qualifying and the inconvenience at the pit stop, with the tires disappearing from the radar. Well done at building a comeback complete with a bad overtaking on Hamilton. LEATHER

lewis hamilton 6 Passenger of a W10 in great difficulty, bad weekend, at times it doesn't seem like him. SOFTLY

Lando Norris 8,5 He fights, elbows, attacks, suffers. In short, he never pulls his leg back, it's the real surprise of the last GPs. Terrible little boy.

Pierre Gasly 4,5 Seventh at the finish line. The comparison with Verstappen (who laps him) is embarrassing. RISK

Carlos Sainz 9 From eighteenth to eighth thanks to overtaking, some of which were really nice (like those on the Alfas). Sumptuous test. MATURE

Kimi Raikkonen 8 The start and the first laps are like an indomitable old lion, he overtakes McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes, climbing up to fourth place. In the end he is ninth, because that is the Alfa's potential, but he is admirable for the way he drives

Antonio Giovinazzi 7 The first world championship point, after a tight race and on a beautiful and true track, to chase away the ghosts and often undeserved criticism. Oxygen for him and a bit of healthy Italian pride. MADE IN ITALY

Sergio Perez 6 He loses the duel with Giovinazzi and Raikkonen.

Kevin Magnussen7 Excellent qualifying lap rating. The grid penalty and the start out of position penalized too harshly with the drive-thru put him out of contention.

Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg 6 Twelfth and thirteenth in tandem with a Renault that has no pace and continues to disappoint.

Romain Grosjean 4,5 From eleventh to sixteenth, complaining of the usual lack of pace and the difficulty with the tyres. Haas is a puzzle.

Lance Stroll 4,5 Not that he can do much, but the 0-8 partial suffered by Perez in qualifying is starting to have an impact...

George Russel 6,5 Not bad really, considering the car he drives…

Others: Daniel Kvyat (5); Alex Albon (5,5); Robert Kubica (5)

Austrian GP 8,5 Real, classic track, with young tightrope walkers giving it a beating. She wanted us after the boredom at Ricard.
