2016 Malaysian Grand Prix - Driver ratings

Felipe Massa - 13th place - 6.5/10

Massa was very unfortunate in the opening stages of the race as a throttle problem left him unable to leave the grid and have to start from the pit lane. With the car restarted, Massa took advantage of the VSC for the first lap crash to pit for hard tyres in an attempt to get back in the race, but a front left puncture forced a second stop inside six laps and left Massa with a mountain to climb. Never looked in contention for points after that as he appeared to resign himself to a frustrating afternoon.
