Valtteri Bottas: 8/10
Much has been made of Bottas’ potential - with the Finn strongly linked with a move to Ferrari - but he has not had things all his own way against Felipe Massa this year. Unfortunately ruled out of the opening race due to a back injury, Bottas delivered strong drives upon his return, most notably in Bahrain and Spain as he finished fourth ahead of a Ferrari both times. An impressive podium in Canada was Bottas at his best as he proved too quick for Kimi Raikkonen once ahead of his fellow Finn, but Bottas was then outpaced by Massa in Austria before missing out on the chance to challenge his team-mate in Silverstone due to team orders. A very good first half of the season, but still more to come.
