Ocon is showing well so far, certainly being consistently not far off Perez, shows he's taking the right approach so far. Didn't he give Max a good run in F3?
Vandoorne's talent is being wasted with that Honda engine so far. A great character who deserves better
Palmer is certainly competent enough for F1, but seems to be missing that final bit that separates the good from the very good. Up against a team mate as talented as the Hulk is not going to be easy either
Magnussen off track preparation has been questioned, but on the track he is doing well, especially in China. He should be around for a few seasons yet
Stroll, well you've got to break a few eggs to make an omelette. You can't be F3 champion without talent and he has got it. He seems to be learning from mistakes and can only get better. The fact he's got a rejuvenated Massa as team mate could help him
Wehrlein, after all the gossip over his fitness which forced him to miss the first couple of races, he responded in the best way possible, with a great drive to 11th after getting into Q2
Giovinazzi will surely be back, he's good enough not to be left on the sidelines. A couple of mistakes in China, but other rising stars have had weekends when they were young when they kept making mistakes
