Nico Rosberg (2nd place, 18 points): 7/10
At a circuit where he had been strong in 2014, Rosberg appeared set to be a real threat to Hamilton as he topped both Friday practice sessions despite reliability issues and his spectacular tyre blowout. However, Hamilton stepped up a gear and Rosberg couldn’t respond, being comfortably outqualified, making a mess of the start and then never getting close enough to his team-mate to attack.
