2016 Malaysian Grand Prix - Driver ratings

Sebastian Vettel - DNF - 3/10

What a contrast to Vettel’s last race at Sepang. Was caught up in his fight with Verstappen, trying to outbrake the Red Bull at the first corner and running too deep. Rosberg had every right to turn in and had still not made it near the apex when Vettel hit his right rear, spinning the Mercedes and taking the Ferrari out of the race. Vettel simply got it wrong on the inside and ruined his own race, receiving a three-place grid penalty for the Japanese Grand Prix for his troubles.
