Nico Rosberg - DNF: 8/10
Rosberg can only be judged on the track running he had and he enjoyed the upper hand over Hamilton in qualifying to take pole by 0.3s. Apparently more comfortable with his car than his team-mate, Rosberg defended well at the start of the race to retain the lead - something he has failed to do on previous occasions - before a throttle problem forced him in to retirement and all but ended his already slim title hopes.
