Valtteri Bottas (P5, 10 pts): 6.5/10
It was another long weekend for Valtteri, who was lucky just to take part in qualifying after his crew to put his Austin engine back in the car between FP3 and Q1. Mercedes lacked front end bite on Friday, which improved on Saturday, but Bottas could do no better than fifth in Q3. At the start, he got past Vettel but was stuck behind Ricciardo and then Sebastien retook the position. He then suffered the same problems as his team leader with his tyres. After a third stop he went on to set fastest lap in the race on the hypersofts.
