Carlos Sainz - 14th place - 6/10
Having said he has performed “miracles” for Toro Rosso in recent races, this was a much more subdued performance from Sainz. Impeding Felipe Massa in qualifying cost him three places on the grid but he still started comfortably ahead of team-mate Daniil Kvyat. That was more a reflection of Kvyat’s Saturday struggles and although Sainz ran 12th early on, the car didn't have the pace of its midfield rivals and he slowly drifted away from points contention, with a slow first pit stop not helping.
