Romain Grosjean (excluded) : 9/10
Romain is doing a brilliant job of late in his bid to keep his ride for next year. He was in Q3 for the seventh straight Saturday and was P5 when he made an early stop on lap 23. He made his way back to P6, but a post-race protest from Renault saw his strong effort scrubbed. The reference plane of VF-18 was found not to be in compliance. Thus, Renault moves back to fourth in the standings.
