Perfect 10 for Hamilton and Norris keeps fighting - driver ratings

Lewis Hamilton claimed his maiden win for Ferrari on Sunday with victory at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion, 41, shared the podium with former Mercedes team-mate George Russell in second and reigning world champion Lando Norris in third, making it an all-British top three for the first time since 1968.

Hamilton has narrowed the gap to 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli at the top of the drivers' championship to 41 points, following the Italian's retirement towards the end of the race.

Franco Colapinto received a post-race 10-second time penalty for yellow flag infringement, so the Alpine driver drops from eighth on the road to P10.

Racing Bulls due Liam Lawson Lawson move up to P8 and P9 respectively.

Here are my ratings for how the drivers performed across the whole weekend in Barcelona.

Lewis Hamilton - 10/10

The first 10 of the year. Normally I'd reserve this for topping every session but despite feeling out of sorts in the early part of the weekend, he found balance with the car. Only just missed out on pole and worked cleverly with the team to respond and tweak the strategy to take his first Ferrari grand prix win. Even without the virtual safety car, Hamilton's' pace was ominous. History made.

George Russell - 8/10

It looked like it could have been his weekend up until the race. Ultimately, neither Mercedes had the pace to battle the Ferrari but getting overtaken by team-mate Kimi Antonelli was salt in the wound.

Lando Norris 9/10

Kept himself in the fight all weekend and in the race but just missing that extra something from the McLaren. Applied some pressure but in the end was mainly in a race on his own.

Max Verstappen - 8/10

Not happy throughout practice. Surprised himself in qualifying and while the race pace didn't match the front runners, he had a very good final stint to secure some needed points for Red Bull.

Oscar Piastri - 6/10

Another one where the Australian's weekend faded. Normally, we're used to seeing Piastri get stronger in every session but almost the opposite happened to the McLaren driver this weekend.

Isack Hadjar - 7/10

Very close to Red Bull team-mate Verstappen in qualifying. But wheelspin off the start line left him with a comeback drive.

Pierre Gasly - 9/10

Out-qualified by Alpine team-mate Franco Colapinto after struggling with brakes and trying to change the entire car. Good strategic call under the VSC and benefitted with points.

Liam Lawson - 9/10

Another great weekend for New Zealander Lawson, who nearly lost out due to the VSC but reliability issues for others combined with a quick car, and he's once again in the points.

Arvid Lindblad - 8/10

Should have challenged for a spot in the final part of qualifying but Racing Bulls team-mate Lawson had the edge on him this weekend. Still had pace to bag another points finish.

Franco Colapinto - 8/10

A better weekend but it's still so up and down with Argentine Colapinto. Out-qualified Gasly but couldn't match him in the grand prix, then hit with a time penalty after the race and demoted two places.

Gabriel Bortoleto 5/10

Tough weekend for Audi's Bortoleto. Beaten in first practice on Friday by rookie driver Paul Aron and never really looked comfortable.

Carlos Sainz - 7/10

A track where Williams were always going to struggle. Hard for the Spaniard to have got more out of his car.

Esteban Ocon - 5/10

Tried an alternative strategy from his Haas team-mate Oliver Bearman that didn't pay off but kept it together to bring it home.

Sergio Perez - 7/10

Was always unlikely that Perez would repeat his Monaco heroics but once again the Mexican was clear of team-mate Valtteri Bottas and brought it home for Cadillac.

Charles Leclerc - 6/10

Two retirements in a row for the Ferrari driver. A self-inflicted crash in qualifying put him out of race-winning contention.

Kimi Antonelli - 8.5/10

Overdriving the car, struggling with tyres but then came back strong in the race. Quicker than Silver Arrows team-mate Russell again but reliability issues leave him point-less.

Oliver Bearman - 5/10

Anonymous weekend for Haas and Bearman, and issues saw him finish the race early.

Alex Albon 5/10

Now the official leading all-time starter for Williams - but that's as good as it gets.

Fernando Alonso 4/10

Aston Martin were never going to perform well here but the Spaniard was out-qualified by team-mate Lance Stroll and then retired from the race.

Nico Hulkenberg - 8/10

When will the Hulk catch a break? Looked set for points this weekend after a great qualifying for Audi. Gravel was his undoing as he retired from the race.

Valtteri Bottas - 6/10

Narrowed the gap to Cadillac team-mate Perez this weekend but still behind and retired.

Lance Stroll - 5/10

The first retirement of the day and even though he wasn't fussed about out-qualifying team-mate Alonso for the first time in more than 40 races, it earns him an extra point.
