Nico Rosberg - (4th place, 12 points): 7/10
A solid weekend from Rosberg in testing conditions. Mercedes was never realistically in the hunt for victory from FP3 onwards, and it was a case of damage limitation. While Lewis Hamilton had the edge, Rosberg was always behind his team-mate on the road and ultimately got the best result the car would deliver on race day. On a personal note, Rosberg will be frustrated Hamilton’s first retirement of the season came at a circuit where the team was bizarrely off the pace, limiting how much ground he could make up in the title race.
