Key points
- Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes - 9/10 Qualifying vs team-mate: 7-4 / Points vs team-mate: 219-160 Without doubt Antonelli has been the best driver so far this season and deserves to have a solid lead in the championship after five wins on the spin, followed by a sixth in Belgium.
- Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari - 8/10 Qualifying vs team-mate: 5-6 / Points vs team-mate: 169-138 Hamilton will be frustrated with his below-par execution in the races prior to the summer break as he should be much closer to Antonelli in the title race.
- George Russell, Mercedes - 7/10 Qualifying vs team-mate: 4-7 / Points vs team-mate: 160-219 Russell has endured plenty of bad luck this season but so has Antonelli and the reality is the British driver has lacked overall pace to his team-mate.
- Lando Norris, McLaren - 8.5/10 Qualifying vs team-mate: 5-6 / Points vs team-mate: 128-92 Norris is driving just as well as he did in the backend of last year on his way to becoming world champion.
