Heroes
Max/Newey - they're the most unbeatable team the sport seen in a long time, if ever.
Alonso - it might be impossible for him to defeat the Max/Newey juggernaut, but he's putting in a serious effort
Hamilton - It took a long time for him to get over the disappointment of 2021 and 2022. Happy Lewis is one of the best things you can see in F1
Ferrari - bad qualifying but good results? Maybe they've been approaching the sport the wrong way. It was a little weird to hold Sainz at station if he really did have pace. They've never been shy about swapping drivers if they thought the trailing driver had pace. The call not to 'fight' was right to save the tires, but to not even try a swap? Maybe just going off line to do it was considered too risky?
Alex Albon! Another in a long line of talented drivers who never quite manages to make his mark finally puts a dent into the sport. Getting a 7th place in a Williams is a great result, and shows that he's able to handle the pressure of F1.
Zeroes
I don't know that any drivers truly belong here. Sure, Russel hit the wall, but it's a tough circuit, even the best get caught up in those walls, so it's not exactly a 'zero' result.
KMag and DeVries were in a fight and got mixed up, but I'd applaud the fight more than 'zero' the result.
Double no points for McLaren, but they were just outshined by people having a better day. With any luck, McLaren could have had solid points too.
The FIA was busy, with blocking penalties, but then quite lenient about unsafe releases in the pits. I was sure that Hamilton at least would get a penalty for almost hitting Alonso. I hope that the FIA/drivers/teams can agree on what is/isn't acceptable. On the 50th anniversary of the safety car, I'm glad that F1 really does put safety ahead of spectacle most of the time.
