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

I usually reserve a score of 10 for a weekend where a driver is unbeatable, but Vettel had to fight from the back of the grid through no fault of his own and scored an excellent result. The safety car period did not really help Vettel, who started on soft tyres, as he gained just two positions as Jenson Button and Valtteri Bottas stopped. He was over 45 seconds behind Rosberg on lap 15 - before he or the leaders had stopped - but was the fastest man to the end of the race. He made excellent progress while looking after his tyres, and then delivered the pace required on ultrasofts in the middle stint to climb from 13th to fifth. An excellent, aggressive performance on a track where damaging mistakes are easy to make.
