Nico Rosberg - 2nd place, 18 points - 7/10

Rosberg just wasn't at his best this weekend - or even that close to it - as he struggled to get comfortable on the low grip Mexico circuit. Hamilton had a margin over the championship leader throughout, and while Rosberg's final Q3 lap was good to secure second on the grid, it actually showed how much he was struggling. In the race he saw a comfortable buffer over the Red Bulls get whittled away by Verstappen and realistically his only focus was to defend second rather than chase Hamilton for the win.
