2016 Brazilian Grand Prix - Driver ratings

F1i looks back at how the 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix unfolded and gives each driver a mark out of ten for their performance at Interlagos

Lewis Hamilton - 1st place, 25 points - 9.5/10

There was so much going on behind Hamilton that he was rarely seen during the race, but the defending champion was faultless this weekend as he kept the title race alive. Pulled out pole position with a strong qualifying performance, and was keen to get racing rather than protect his position. While many drivers were struggling with the conditions, Hamilton made it look easy at the front with the pace to respond to even Verstappen at will. Described it as one of his easier wins, which shows just how well he performed.
