Marcus Ericsson: 7/10
Ericsson’s season could be looking so much better but for one standout mistake. Scored points in Melbourne but was in the shadow of team-mate Nasr on race day, and then threw away the chance to make amends at the next race. Starting from ninth, Ericsson was too eager trying to make early progress further up the top ten and spun at the first corner attacking Hulkenberg, missing out on strong points while Nasr struggled. Since then the two have been evenly matched but Ericsson has only picked up solitary points and a slight upturn in qualifying performances has come with the car at its least competitive.
