Sebastian Vettel - 2nd place, 18 points - 8/10

Vettel was left frustrated after qualifying because he set an identical time to Daniel Ricciardo but started behind the Red Bull by virtue of completing his lap later in Q3. It mattered little as a solid start allowed him to breeze past his former team-mate once the Australian ran into tyre trouble, and he made a sensible call to stay out longer on his first set of tyres to ensure he had a bigger margin on the softs later on.
