2016 United States Grand Prix - Driver ratings

F1i looks back at how the 2016 United States Grand Prix unfolded and gives each driver a mark out of ten for their performance at Circuit of the Americas

Lewis Hamilton - 1st place, 25 points - 9/10

This was a crucial weekend for Hamilton and he duly delivered under pressure. His qualifying lap was impressive as Rosberg had been so close, but it was the race start which will have been a bigger concern and he suffered no problems off the line. Once Hamilton settled into the lead he never looked troubled, but Rosberg's alternate strategy was negated by the Virtual Safety Car and gave the defending champion a clear run home.
