Miami Grand Prix: Harry Benjamin’s driver ratings for weekend of fourth race in 2026
Kimi Antonelli – 9/10
As Damon Hill put it on our 5 Live commentary, a stupendous weekend for the young Italian, who really put Mercedes team-mate George Russell in the shade. Three pole positions and three wins on the trot is worrying for his competitors.
Lando Norris – 9/10
Made great use of McLaren’s upgrade package and took a dominant sprint victory on the Saturday. Let down more by the wet weather not appearing on Sunday which might have seen him take the race win.
Oscar Piastri – 7/10
Solid enough from the Australian but very much adrift from McLaren team-mate Norris. Some nice battling with Russell in the race.
George Russell – 6/10
Overshadowed by his team-mate Antonelli this weekend. Russell couldn’t find the grip he needed and never really got into his rhythm.
Max Verstappen – 6/10
Huge steps made by Red Bull this weekend but an uncharacteristic mistake on the first lap sending him into a spin left him on the back foot. Verstappen was given a five-second penalty for crossing the white line at the pit exit, which underlines an underwhelming Sunday. But plenty of positives to take.
Lewis Hamilton – 5/10
Trailed Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc all weekend. A slow pit stop during the race didn’t help his cause, along with damage picked up from contact with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto.
Franco Colapinto – 8/10
His best weekend to date. Fast in every session. Outqualified Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly and ran well in the race, with good wheel to wheel combat (maybe a tad close to Hamilton) and rewarded with crucial points.
Charles Leclerc – 6/10
Feels like a wasted potential for Charles in Miami. Was there or thereabouts all weekend but is just missing that extra piece. A lairy final lap with a mistake sending him into the wall undid all his good work in the race, and a 20-second post-race time penalty for leaving the track repeatedly and gaining an advantage loses him points.
Carlos Sainz – 7/10
Wasn’t happy with his Williams team after practice, as it looked like the team had fallen further behind in the midfield. So to salvage points on Sunday is a big win.
Alex Albon – 7/10
Looked more comfortable in the car and before the track limits violation got him pinged in sprint qualifying, looked ahead of team-mate Sainz. Quiet race but gets off the mark with a point.
Oliver Bearman – 6/10
Having had the measure of team-mate Esteban Ocon in the first three weekends, the Brit looked behind in the early part of Miami but soon found his way back ahead. Unfortunately, it appears Haas have not taken the steps forward that some of their midfield rivals have.
Gabriel Bortoleto – 5/10
Tough weekend for the Audi team overall. Kept his head down and rewarded the team’s hard work in fixing the reliability issues with a finish.
