Nico Hulkenberg - 7th place, 6 points - 7/10
A slightly bittersweet result for Hulkenberg, who brought home good points but was always a few tenths of a second slower than team-mate Perez. Throughout the practice sessions Perez always seemed to have a bit in hand and Hulkenberg had no real qualms with his car after qualifying two rows further back, but an impressive start saw him up to fifth and following Perez early on. Couldn’t hold off Ricciardo in the first stint - something Perez managed to do later in the race - and was always looking over his shoulder to keep an eye on the threat from Williams as he ended up half a minute adrift of his team-mate at the flag.
