Felipe Massa - 5th place, 10 points - 7.5/10

Massa struggled to manage his tyres as well as his team-mate during the race, which was highlighted by Bottas leading Hamilton and Raikkonen throughout the first stint and Massa dropping away from that group. While the Brazilian ran two laps longer before his first stop, he slowly fell back from his team-mate but had plenty of margin to do a precautionary second stop with eight laps to go, retaining fifth place. Once again the pair have been closely matched so far this season, and fourth and fifth represented the maximum Williams was likely to achieve based on pace.
