Sebastian Vettel - 5th place, 10 points - 7/10

Never looked comfortable with his car in qualifying, Vettel was confident the race pace would be a lot better. Got the jump on Raikkonen - who had the upper hand on Saturday - at the start but after a few laps it became clear Ferrari didn’t have the pace to stay close to those ahead. Without a threat from behind, the two drivers had a lonely run to the line but Vettel admitted he was wrong to insist on lengthening his penultimate stint as the pace was just as good on the soft tyre he would fit at the final stop. Not that it mattered with Ferrari’s no man’s land position.
