Ratings are for both qualifying and the race. Rosberg - Hamilton - Bottas - Massa - Alonso - Perez - Magnussen - Ricciardo - Hulkenberg - Raikkonen - Button - Maldonado - Sutil - Grosjean - Bianchi - Kobayashi - Chilton - Ericsson - Gutierrez - Vergne - Kyvat - Vettel
Rosberg - 8 Got the pole and drove well until retirement, though was being caught by Hamilton, race win was not assured Hamilton - 8 Messed up quali again, but drove fine race and was hauling in Rosberg Bottas - 9 Have to dock 1 for quali, otherwise 10/10 as race was brilliant. Massa - 6 Bad call for quali, didn't make it far in the race Alonso - 8 Docked 1 again for quali, great race and good scrap with Vettel Perez - 6 Never got it hooked up this weekend Magnussen - 7 Much better Ricciardo - 8 Showed Vettel the way again in the race Hulkenberg - 8 Good job after a few average weekends Raikkonen - 4 Bad quali and made his own error in the race Button - 8 Much better again Maldonado - 6 Sutil - 6 Grosjean - 6 Bianchi - 8 Great quali and held off who he could, whilst he could in the race Kobayashi - 6 Chilton - 5 Ericsson - 5 Gutierrez - 5 Vergne - 7 Kyvat - 7 Vettel - 7 Got the better of Daniel in quali, but fell back in the race, redeemed with fine battle with Alonso. Poor start also hurt his chances of a podium finish.
Rosberg - 9 got pole and led the race comfortably until his gearbox gave him trouble. Hamilton - 8, ****ed up in Qualy again and inherited a win, wasn't catching Rosberg much until then (the biggest gap between them was 5.9 seconds, 1 lap before Rosberg reported the problem) Bottas - 9.5 should be a ten but for the quali mess up, alhtough not sure if it was his or Willaims fault. Massa - 6 poor quali, but was it his fault or Williams? Alonso - 7.5 Poor qualifying again, so -1, and poor pit box management cost him a possible podium -1 Perez - 6 was he on the track? after his first collision with Grosjean I can't remember anything about his race Magnussen - 7 good qualy but a very scrappy drive Ricciardo - 7 got past Vettel the same way he did in Canada, in the pits thanks to RB's poor pit strategy. Hulkenberg - 7 has been distinctly average of late, everytinme I saw him today he seemed very scrappy. Raikkonen - 3 Taxi for Kimi, or would a blue bus suit better? Button - 8 good drive from Jenson, especially after RD gave him a dig, answered in the best way. Maldonado - Unlucky again, or a case of the biter bitten Sutil - 6 another one who I don;t recall being on the track. Grosjean - 6 another anonymous driver today Bianchi - 7 does what he can Kobayashi - 7 neat a faster car again, although it was Chilton so no real great shakes there. Chilton - 6 Ericsson - 5 Gutierrez - 5 Vergne - 7 decent drive, but being shown up by a rookie more than he was by Ricciardo. Kyvat - 8 good mature drive again, RBR junior program is by far the best, Vettel, Riccirdo and now Kvyatt, selection troubles loom for RBR in a few years unless Seb moves to Ferrari. Vettel- 8, poor strategy from RB again, but still managed a decent 5th, despite some rather dubious defending from Alonso

Rosberg - 8.5 composed all weekend, let down by the car Hamilton - 8, messed up quali but drove a good race, hard to tell if he had the legs on Rosberg and might have been able to battle or whether it was Nico's gearbox letting go losing him pace. Bottas - 9, so composed in the race, well deserved second. Massa - 6, hard to give more than 5 because the whole team messed up quali, but did brilliantly to avoid a huge smaash into Kimi so gets an extra point from me. Alonso - 8, great overtaking and a great battle with Vettel but messed up the restart Perez -6.5, unlucky with the vergne contact. Magnussen - 7, solid but too timid in the race. Ricciardo -8, made his strategy work well. Hulkenberg - 7, good drive in a difficult car. Raikkonen - 2, terrible weekend, accident was avoidable, brave to keep his foot in but he should have lifted, especially around slower cars anyway. Button - 7.5, much more like it from him, great quali and a very solid race. Maldonado -6, did very little wrong, accident for once not his fault. Sutil -6, terrible car, can't do much with it. Grosjean - 7, did what he could with what he had. Bianchi - 7 Kobayashi -6 Chilton - 6 Ericsson - 5 Gutierrez - 3, folk maybe think i'm usually hard on him, but he is really a dreadful driver. Worse than Maldonado by a distance. No awareness on track, not quick at any point and even when he flukes his way into a chance of points in a race, usually bins it through lack of concentration. Sooner he is out of F1 the better. Turkey of a driver. Vergne - 7 solid Kyvat -7.5 impressive again Vettel 7.5, held back by a strategy mistake.
Rosberg - 8.5 Hamilton - 8.5 Bottas - 9 Massa - 5 Alonso - 8 Perez - 6 Magnussen - 7 Ricciardo - 8 Hulkenberg - 7 Raikkonen - 4.5 Button - 8 Maldonado - 6.5 Sutil - 6.5 Grosjean - 6 Bianchi - 7.5 Kobayashi - 6 Chilton - 6 Ericsson - 5 Gutierrez - 3 Vergne - 7 Kyvat - 7.5 Vettel - 8
Rosberg - 8 - Pole in the best car is expected, raced well until gearbox problem, which he reported early. Hamilton - 7 - Massive error in quali and inherited the win, probably had the legs on Nico but who knows? Bottas - 9.5 - team error in quali great drive in the race Massa - 5 - team error in quali Alonso - 8 - quali? Great race craft with Vettel, rookie error at the start cost him a podium. Perez - 5 - wtf? Where has gts great car gone? Magnussen - 7 - Good quali, but could have raced harder, driving off the track because Lewis shows his nose? Ricciardo - 7.5 - average quali and probably lucked into the strategy over team mate. Keeps delivering! Hulkenberg - 6.5 - Ok quali but wtf in race pace? Raikkonen - 2 - Quali? Crash? WDC? Button - 8.5 - excellent quali and the car didn't deserve to finish higher. Maldonado - 5 Sutil - 6 Grosjean - 6 Bianchi - 8 Kobayashi - 6 Chilton - 6 Ericsson - 4 Gutierrez - 4 Vergne - 7 Kyvat - 7.5 Vettel - 8
Rosberg - 8 - Did all he could, pole, was quicker than Hamilton and just got really unlucky. Hamilton - 7 - Bad qualifying and being gifted the win cost him higher. Anybody in that car could overtake so no points for them Bottas - 8 - Bad qualifying cost a 9 Massa - 6 - Bad qualifying but unlucky in the race, was faster than Bottas in practice long runs, who knows.. Alonso - 8.5 - See Bottas Perez - 7 - Got taken out and was faster than Hulk yet again Magnussen - 7.5 - Good but nothing special Ricciardo - 7 - Very lucky to beat Vettel, poor qualifying Hulkenberg - 6 - Seriously, what is he doing lately? Raikkonen - 0 - Worst driver on the field, shouldn't be driving Button - 8 - Great drive, unlucky to not get a podium Maldonado - 7.5 - I thought he did pretty well in a **** box Sutil - 7.5 - See Maldonado Grosjean - 7 - Not as good as Maldonado, but still a decent race Bianchi - 8 - Good stuff yet again Kobayashi - 6 - Didn't really see him Chilton - 5 - See Kobayashi loses one for being an idiot Ericsson - 3 - You can tell he's a rookie Gutierrez - 6 - Did well before the incident Vergne - 4 - Took Perez out and luckily got no penalty, then did nothing really Kyvat - 6 - Anonymous Vettel - 7 - Did better than Ricciardo but minus a point for his moaning over racing.
Autosport says :- Rosberg - 9 Hamilton -9 Bottas - 10 Massa - 7 Alonso - 9 Perez - 6 Magnussen - 8 Ricciardo - 9 Hulkenberg - 7 Raikkonen - 4 Button - 9 Maldonado - 6 Sutil - 4 Grosjean - 7 Bianchi - 9 Kobayashi - 6 Chilton - 7 Ericsson - 5 Gutierrez - 3 Vergne - 8 Kyvat - 8 Vettel - 7
So, the man who everyone says hates Hamilton and always post negative things about him gave him the highest score, damn, how biased I am.
