Marcus Ericsson - 12th place - 7.5/10
Like Sainz, another driver who felt they got the most out of their race even if it ultimately failed to result in points. The Sauber has not been quick at all this season but Ericsson nearly reached Q2 and gained four places as a result of the first lap dramas. Matched Sainz’s two-stop strategy - almost to the lap - and was quick on the softs but didn’t have the outright pace once he fitted hard tyres for the final stint, slowly slipping back from Palmer in tenth.
