Lewis Hamilton - 2nd place, 18 points - 7/10

Having qualified second, Hamilton insisted the intensity has not dropped at all since securing the championship, and his frustrations at not being able to pass Rosberg would suggest he is right. Looked quicker than his team-mate in the second stint and closed up on numerous occasions in braking zones but never attacked. However, Hamilton appeared resigned to the fact that he would not be able to overtake Rosberg on track from an early stage and from the second stop onwards he rarely threatened. Says he was faster all race, but should perhaps give Rosberg credit for dictating the pace at times as he himself has done so often this year.
