Lewis Hamilton (P4, 12 pts, word champion): 8/10
‘‘It was a horrible race, the hardest of the season in every aspect’’ He did well to finish behind the unbeatable Red Bulls in Q3 and Lewis got the best start, but Verstappen held him off at turn one. Very early on, like his team mate, Hamilton’s tyres started to degrade, allowing Ricciardo and Vettel to get by, while Räikkönen was on a one-stop strategy. The Mercedes star had to remain composed and keep his eye on the ultimate prize. And so he did, to equal perhaps the greatest of them all, Juan-Manual Fangio! Well done Mr. World Champion!
