Roberto Merhi: 7/10
Having struggled compared to team-mate Will Stevens at the start of the season, Merhi has grown stronger as he’s learned to adapt his driving style to the Manor and has started higher in three of the last four races. An improvement in looking after his tyres has also seen Merhi become more competitive in race trim and he boasts the better outright results between himself and Stevens. Has definitely earned himself the chance to be retained for a full season.
