Bearman was half a second slower than Piastri in sector two all race, but it didn't matter — he drove like someone who'd already written off the weekend.

Hamilton was faster than Piastri by nearly half a second per lap. He finished 19th because Ferrari stopped twice.

Alonso lasted four laps. Stroll finished ninth. That's not a performance delta, that's proof one driver got the functional car.
