Nico Rosberg: 7/10

Rosberg’s consistency has been impressive this season, but less impressive is the fact he has been consistently slower than Hamilton and most races. Having lost his qualifying edge from last year, Rosberg is already on the back foot when the lights go out and is reliant on beating his team-mate off the line otherwise the race already appears to be over. Clearly got the ability to challenge for the title, but Rosberg needs to up his game on Saturdays to allow him to close the gap to Hamilton.
