Aston Martin: Sebastian Vettel - 3/10
Vettel didn't have a memorable outing at the Turkish Grand Prix. He has just not been himself since the summer break, and his string of poor performances is starting to stack up now. He was easily out-qualified by his teammate on Saturday, and Vettel just didn't have the pace to put up any kind of fight in the race either.
His move to slicks reeked of desperation because of a lack of speed on intermediates, and as things turned out, the move was just not on at that time.
Aston Martin: Lance Stroll - 8/10
Another one of those weekends where Lance Stroll turned up and did a fabulous job. Stroll loves the Turkish Grand Prix. He achieved his first career pole position here last year, and even this year, he was the faster of the two Aston Martins.
Alfa Romeo: Antonio Giovinazzi - 5/10
Just a few tenths away from a point in the Turkish Grand Prix, Giovinazzi had a somewhat anonymous race. An average qualifying followed by a somewhat average race, a race in which you disobey the team orders is not really what you need to do if you are looking to secure the seat for next year at your team.
Overall, it was a typical Giovinazzi performance, one that cements the fact that he's a 'good but not great driver'.
Alfa Romeo: Kimi Raikkonen - 5/10
Raikkonen was quicker than his teammate at one point in the Turkish Grand Prix. However, that did not result in anything substantial, as Giovinazzi did not follow the team's orders to let Raikkonen pass. In the end, the Finn laboured home in 12th in another rather uneventful race.
It was another race where there wasn't anything special coming out of the Alfa Romeo camp as well.
Williams: George Russell - 6/10
It was one of those races for George where the Williams just didn't give him much. He was again the better of the two drivers at Williams, but that's not saying much about the weekend.
In the end, 15th place ahead of Fernando Alonso should be appreciated. but there wasn't much to talk about for the Brit during the Turkish Grand Prix.
Williams: Nicholas Latifi - 5/10
It was pretty much the same weekend at the Turkish Grand Prix for Latifi that his teammate experienced. Latifi has been picking up pace recently, and running Russell close in recent races. He kept up the trend this time around as well.
A 17th position in the Turkish Grand Prix is hardly indicative of anything, but you couldn't do much else driving a Williams anyway.
Haas: Mick Schumacher - 7/10
Mick Schumacher found something during Q1, and was able to avoid Q1 elimination for the first time in his career. His race was compromised by Fernando Alonso punting him down the order with a rather ambitious move.
Schumacher climbed back ahead of Mazepin before the end of the race to finish 19th on a weekend where he was able to show the most one could with the machinery he had at his disposal.
Haas: Nikita Mazepin - 2/10
It's disappointing that Nikita Mazepin finds a spot on the grid in 2022 while Oscar Piastri, the current F2 championship leader does not. Nikita was off the pace compared to his teammate who reached Q2. The young Russian, though, capped off his typically dismal Turkish Grand Prix race by blocking Hamilton.
Mazepin has the speed, for sure, but is he worthy of a seat in Formula 1? It's difficult to respond to the question in the affirmative.
