Sebastian Vettel - 4th place, 12 points - 8/10

It's a good sign of when Vettel feels he has driven well when he is in good spirits speaking to the media post-race, regardless of the result. Started sixth and didn't actually gain any positions on track, but his good first stint on supersofts had given him a tyre advantage and saw him close on team-mate Raikkonen before the Finn retired. Verstappen then also retired from in front of him, but Vettel had already made his second stop and was unable to profit any further as a result. Showed excellent reactions to catch his car after a loss of downforce in the middle of the high-speed Turn 4, too.
