Kevin Magnussen - 14th place - 7/10

Starting from the pit lane looked like a good decision when Magnussen was already set to start from the back row, but the lack of a safety car did not play into Magnussen’s hands at all. Expected the pit lane start would allow him to avoid any first lap carnage but the lack of incidents left the Dane trying to fight through the field in a car down on power. Executed a one-stop strategy and a clean race to get the most out of the car’s potential, even if that’s not very much right now.
