Max Verstappen - 3rd place, 15 points - 8.5/10

You can’t really split the two Red Bull drivers after their respective performances this weekend, with Ricciardo getting the upper hand in qualifying but Verstappen leading his team-mate for much of the race. A good start saw him run a comfortable second but the decision to run the supersoft tyre in his second stint failed to deliver the expected pace advantage over the soft. Forced off by Rosberg at Turn 6, Verstappen still led Ricciardo coming towards the final round of pit stops but let him through to chase down the Mercedes even if he had the pace and ability to hold on to what was a net second place if he wanted.
