Fernando Alonso - DNF - 7/10

A very lucky man. Alonso had started strongly and climbed in to the top ten before his first pit stop. However, attempting to pass Esteban Gutierrez, Alonso - on new tyres - misjudged where the Haas needed to brake on older rubber in to Turn 3 and clipped the left rear of Gutierrez’s car before somersaulting through the gravel. A huge crash which the Spaniard was fortunate to walk away from.
