Sebastian Vettel (12th place): 7.5/10
Vettel made an error on his qualifying lap which left him languishing in ninth place on Saturday evening, though he started eighth courtesy of Grosjean’s grid penalty. A strong race drive was set to be rewarded with a podium after making ground at the start, but Ferrari was asking too much of the Pirelli tyres in attempting to one-stop. All those around Vettel went for two, and with Grosjean closing in a right rear failure ended his race on the penultimate lap. His outburst towards Pirelli afterwards made for good headlines but he may have been better served biting his tongue.
