Jolyon Palmer - 19th place - 5/10
A good qualifying performance saw Palmer reach Q2 but he ruined his good work on the opening lap. First he locked up heavily at Turn 2 and then ran into the rear of Felipe Massa’s Williams at the Turn 6 hairpin. Palmer needed an early stop because of the tyre problems which cut him adrift at the back of the field and also required a new front wing eventually, all of which left him out of the midfield fight.
