Felipe Massa - 10th place, 1 point - 6/10

A vocal critic of the tyre pressures this weekend, Massa’s complaints will have been in part due to Williams struggling more than expected for pace. Made a mistake on his one flying Q3 lap which left him starting 10th, but an impressive opening lap jumped him up to fourth at the end of the opening lap. Williams opted to pit at the end of the second lap to get rid of his supersofts but that left Massa needing to run longer stints on his tyres, something he was not able to do at a competitive enough place. Slipped back as the race wore on, having been fifth after his final stop.
