Sebastian Vettel (second / 18 pts) : 9/10
Would he have been able to challenge Lewis if he hadn’t been held up by Ricciardo and Kimi after his first tyre change behind the safety car (following severe wear of the intermediates)? Unlikely, as the Brit seemed to have the race well under control. Preventing an all Mercedes front row by 1 / 1000th of a second, Vettel lost positions following the neutralization before taking them back. The German admitted he enjoyed himself, as well as being optimistic for the continuation of the Mercedes-Ferrari duel.
