Kevin Magnussen - 17th place - 7/10

For all the drama happening at the start of the race and in the midfield, Magnussen didn’t see a huge amount of action such was the lack of pace from Renault this weekend. Struggled with tyre degradation but can be excused to some extent by the fact he missed almost all of Friday’s running following a suspension failure in FP1. The wet FP3 then meant he had no set-up time, and team-mate Jolyon Palmer’s struggles highlighted what a good job he still did.
