Lewis Hamilton - DNF - 8.5/10

His words matched many watching on when he cried out “No! No!” as his power unit let go when comfortably leading with 16 laps remaining. While it is an incident which leaves the championship battle tantalisingly poised you had to feel for Hamilton, who had bounced back from his disappointment of Singapore to take pole by 0.4s over Rosberg and was looking set for a crucial victory with the race under control before the failure. Rosberg was eliminated as a threat at Turn 1, but after his recent problems with starting from pole, Hamilton had done all he needed to.
