2016 United States Grand Prix - Driver ratings

Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - United States Grand Prix - Race Day - Austin, USA

Fernando Alonso - 5th place, 10 points - 8/10

There are times when Alonso is a little too eager to criticise. After his first stop, he complained about his strategy over team radio having emerged behind the two Renaults, but Alonso was quickly running in the top ten and promoted to seventh by the retirements of Verstappen and Raikkonen. Caught Massa late in the race and attempted a move down the inside at Turn 16 which was borderline as both drivers ran wide after contact, but ultimately the stewards deemed it a racing incident and the aggression allowed Alonso to go on and pass Sainz using DRS for fifth place.
