Fernando Alonso (sixth, 8 pts) : 9/10
For once, there were no power unit issues and Fernando easily made it to Q3, leaving Hülkenberg the role of best of the rest. With the German out of his way, he mixed up with albeit a very competitive Sainz, who ran into someone who is, simply said, just better. An outstanding drive that, this time, Alonso was well rewarded for. What a way to celebrate his 36th birthday!
