Jolyon Palmer (thirteenth) : 5.5/10
It’s been a dreadful start to the season for the Englishman, who was very unlucky in Q1 when Giovinazzi ruined his chances to join the top 15. He then received a five place penalty for not slowing sufficiently. Last on the grid, Palmer swapped out his intermediates for super-softs at the end of the formation lap. Smart choice…had he not hit a wet patch. From there on he had a clean race highlighted by a long defence against Grosjean, but it was already too late.
