Carlos Sainz - 11th place - 7/10

Sainz set a modest target of simply trying to finish the race after many reliability issues this season and he at least achieved that goal. As is often the case, the Toro Rosso pair looked quick early in the race and engaged in plenty of battles but as the race wore on Sainz was more often on the losing side as he ended up outside the top ten. Felt he was out of position at the start and the car was capable of finishing no higher, but will be slightly disappointed not to score in any of the final three rounds of the season.
