Stand-out driver
Winner: Fernando Alonso
In his 18th season in Formula 1, Fernando Alonso is still proving why he is one of the all-time greats of the sport. He may not be bagging victories or clinching podiums, but he is one of only three drivers alongside Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel to secure points finishes in all five races so far this season and is doing so by driving the absolute nuts off the MCL33.
With the two-time World Champion out of contract at the end of the season, McLaren will be on their hands and knees praying that Alonso sticks around based on his excellent form.
He is also the only driver to outperform his team-mate in every qualifying session so far.
Honourable mention: Charles Leclerc
Ferrari’s rising star Charles Leclerc emerged as a late contender for this award after two superb drives in Baku and Spain.
Leclerc was guilty of making mistakes at crucial moments in his few races in Formula 1, but he has already started to show signs of consistency after consecutive Q2 appearances and back-to-back points finishes.
It is difficult to try and not get too carried away with him at this very early stage of his career, but we already cannot wait to see him in Ferrari colours a little bit further down the line.
Most under-pressure driver
