Logan Sargeant didn't make it to the end of his second season. Besides being well behind Albon, his team mate, in qualifying and points scoring, there were too many crashes. Hard for Sargeant, but not a surprise. So in comes Franco Colapinto. His form from F3 and F2 suggested good-but-not-stellar. And yet he scored points in his second race, having out-qualified Albon. Good start.
Oliver Bearman stood in at Ferrari earlier this year and scored points, but that's to be expected in such a fast car. Standing in again at Haas is a very different prospect, but he scored points again, and beat his team mate, Hulkenberg.
Oh, and Piastri and Leclerc spent a big chunk of the race disputing the lead because F1 is surprisingly competitive this year after a dull beginning, and Red Bull aren't leading the constructors' championship any longer.
