Kimi Raikkonen - DNF - 7.5/10

Strong signs from Raikkonen but he had already yielded P2 before his retirement. His start was impressive but the Finn was left defending from Rosberg during the first stint before a decision to go longer before the first stop backfired. Raikkonen had taken on a new set of supersofts just two laps before the red flag and then Ferrari made the same error as with Vettel, failing to fit mediums. Already third, Raikkonen’s race came to a premature end as he pitted with flames emerging from the airbox on his car.
