Nico Hülkenberg (twelfth) : 6.5/10
His seventh best time in practice was a glimmer of brilliance. Alas, circumstances and two errors ruined any chance of scoring a few precious points. Nico went for slicks at the end of the opening lap, just when the race was neutralized after Stroll was eliminated. This put a monkey wrench in his strategy and a loss in lucidity resulted in two penalties (15 seconds in all) for unauthorized overtaking. Consequently, everything went belly up from the outset.
