In F1 the first driver you must beat is your team-mate.
FERRARI
Sebastian Vettel (P1) 3-0 DRIVER OF THE DAY
Brilliant performance. Pitted on lap 11 to avoid losing more time behind a sedate Valtteri Bottas and never relinquished for his second win of 2017. WINNER 10/10
Kimi Raikkonen (P4) 0-3
With persistent understeer issues and a poor start, it was always going to be another uphill battle. For a second consecutive week, Ferrari refused to pit him sooner for his second pitstop. P4 was the best Kimi could hope for (again). LOSER 7/10
MERCEDES
Lewis Hamilton (P2) 3-0
Lost too much time behind Bottas. WINNER 8/10
Valtteri Bottas (P3) 0-3
Won his first pole and lead the first stint, but struggled with constant overheating issues. LOSER 7/10
RED BULL
Daniel Ricciardo (P5) 2-1
Did well to recover from his earlier tyre issues, despite seeing his team-mate crash with brake failure. WINNER 7/10
Max Verstappen (RET, Brakes) 1-2
Did well to launch himself into P4 before brake failure. WINNER 7/10
FORCE INDIA
Sergio Perez (P7) 3-0
A great drive from his lowly starting slot of P18 WINNER 8/10
Esteban Ocon (P10) 0-3
Progressing well. At least he’s doing better than other youngsters in the field. WINNER 7/10
WILLIAMS
Felipe Massa (P6) 3-0
Great performance. Did well to hold off Kimi in the earlier stages. WINNER 8/10
Lance Stroll (RET, Collision) 0-3
Not at fault for the Turn 1 collision between himself and Carlos Sainz. LOSER 5/10
MCLAREN
Fernando Alonso (P14, Power Unit) 3-0
Difficult to gauge his performance with once again more issues with Honda. WINNER 7/10
Stoffel Vandoorne (RET, Power Unit) 0-3
LOL. N/A
TORO ROSSO
Carlos Sainz (RET, Collision) 2-2 REJECT OF THE DAY
Unlucky to break down in qualifying. Exacerbated his woes with a foolish divebomb on Lance Stroll on lap 13, which was 100% avoidable on the Spaniard’s part. LOSER 2/10
Daniil Kvyat (P12) 2-2
A rather average display, where the Russian struggled to dispose of Jolyon Palmer’s Renault & Fernando Alonso’s McLaren. LOSER 5/10
HAAS
Romain Grosjean (P8) 2-1
A return to form. WINNER 7/10
Kevin Magnussen (RET, Electrics)
A return to mediocrity. LOSER 3/10
RENAULT
Nico Hulkenberg (P9) 3-0
A strong performance all-weekend, but it’s tough to gauge how well the German is doing against his shambles of a team-mate. WINNER 7/10
Jolyon Palmer (P13) 0-3
Consistently a second slower per lap than his illustrious team-mate. Yes, his fastest lap was just two-tenths slower than Hulkenberg’s, but it remains a mystery how the Briton was retained for a second season at Enstone. LOSER 4/10
SAUBER
Marcus Ericsson (RET, Gearbox) 0-1
A steady race ended by mechanical failure. LOSER 5/10
Pascal Wehrlein (P11) 1-0
In a backdrop of speculation over his mindset relating his injury-related absence, the 22-year-old German silenced his critics. WINNER 7/10
