F1i's Driver Ratings for the 2018 Abu Dhabi GP

Lewis Hamilton (Pole, P1, 25 pts): 10/10
In the past, once the championship has been decided, Lewis Hamilton has appeared to lose interest in proceedings and looked more interested in starting his winter break early. Not so in 2018, where he's finished with back-to-back wins. The victory in Brazil might have been slightly fortunate, but that certainly couldn't be said about his success in Abu Dhabi which was the work of a driver at the height of his talents. He sounded rather unconvinced by the team's call to bring him in superearly under a Virtual Safety Car, and was clearly worried about making his supersoft tyres last almost 50 laps to the finish. But Hamilton is nothing if not an intelligent competitor and he duly ensured he wasn't drawn into any costly on-track battles that might have accelerated degradation. It gave him enough life in his tyres to ensure he remained fully in control of the race, able to stay ahead of Sebastian Vettel in the closing laps. His immaculate 11th victory of the season confirms that he is a more than worthy five-time world champion - but that's hardly news to anyone at this point, surely?
