Kevin Magnussen- 7th

One of the most memorable moments for the Haas racing team came in the form of its drivers scoring useful points in a contest where both- maintaining optimum tyre temperature (as against graining) and keeping up with the race pace of the quicker cars- was not easy.

To that end, one reckons that K-Mag (as he is popularly called) drove a commanding race, proving a tough nut to crack for the noted midfield troika comprising of Toro Rosso, McLaren, and Alfa Romeo.

Even as he was challenged by Sainz endlessly, Magnussen, who's yet to win a race in F1, put all his experience into play, in eventually finishing seventh.

Driver Rating- 7.5/10

Romain Grosjean- 10th

Well, to be honest, it's not always that one sees the famous French driver finish a race and that too, in points.

To that regard, Grosjean's P10 was indicative of the simple fact that perhaps there's a lot more to the talented racer than often meets the eye.

At Spain, Grosjean, despite scoring a point and preventing the likes of Ricciardo and Raikkonen from ending on tenth made a somewhat strange case of being not a very quick driver, despite having a quick car all weekend.

Who knows, maybe the best from Romain is just around the corner?

Driver Rating- 6.5/10
