    Hamilton - 9.5, would be a 10 if the pole lap wasn't a banker and didn't make a mistake on his final run.
    Rosberg - 7
    Vettel - 8.5, messed up qualifying and should have been on pole, bad start and without drs would have been behind Ricciardo

    Hulkenberg - 9
    Button - 7.5
    Massa - 7
    Bottas - 6
    Magnussen - 7

    Grosjean - 8.5 - Went completely unnoticed but nearly had points! :D
    Raikkonen - 4
    Kobayashi - 7.5
    Ericsson - 6
    Chilton - 6

    Ricciardo - 8.5 - Poor qualifying cost him a 9

    Sutil - 6
    Vergne - 7
    Bianchi - 5
    Maldonado - 6.5 - Poor qualifying cost a 7
    Perez - 6 - Only a tenth off getting into Q3 but still, poor effort for someone of his quality.

    Alonso - 8 Solid as you'd expect
    Hulkenberg - 9 Deserves a winning car

    Bottas - 7
    Magnussen -6 After Aus it was easy to forget that he's a rookie.

    Hamilton - 10, Domination, faultless, even asked the team if he could help more in any way.
    Rosberg - 8, Maybe could have challenged Lewis more, and quali was a bit off.
    Vettel - 8.

    Alonso - 7
    Hulkenberg -9, Most talented driver on the grid may go his whole career without a top drive.
    Button - 7
    Massa - 6
    Bottas - 6, Had many chances to take his team-mate, couldn't... Poor qualy.
    Magnussen - 7, Average, although I don't see how the incident with Raikkonen was his fault.
    Kyvat - 7.

    Grosjean - 7,
    Raikkonen - 5, Deary me, I can see him retiring from F1 this season.
    Kobayashi - 6.
    Ericsson - 8, drove with anger after his **** quali.
    Chilton - 6.

    Ricciardo - 8, More if he qualified higher, nothing he could do about the retirement.
    Gutierrez - 6, Good Quali in the wet.
    Sutil - 4.
    Vergne -4.
    Bianchi - 1.
    Maldonado - 2.
    Perez - 5, Underwhelming qualifying.

    Hamilton - 9.9 (practically perfect all weekend... comprehensively boshing your team-mate, whilst being easier on tyres AND using less fuel? Incredible. There was a little bit left in reserve as well, so he loses out on a 10)
    Rosberg - 6 2nd without too much drama, but destroyed by Hamilton.
    Vettel - 9 Very good job

    Alonso - 8.5 The ferrari is a dog
    Hulkenberg - 9.9 (another practically perfect performance, shame he couldn't fight Alonso more. Give this guy a top car and he'd be world champion)
    Button - 8 Solid job from Butts
    Massa - 7 Defiant... But ultimately cost his team
    Bottas - 7 Should have just rammed the little **** out of the way! <laugh>
    Magnussen - 8 I have no idea why he got a penalty?! Kimi turned in on his front wing? Obvious racing incident. That moment essentially wrecked his car and his race, but he still drove really well.
    Kyvat - 8 Another good drive

    Grosjean - 8 where did he come from???
    Raikkonen - 4 Kimi is so **** and overrated. Awful performance.
    Kobayashi - 8 Good from the Kob given his limited running!
    Ericsson - 8 Sexy swede must be made a Justice League member, defender of the day! it's like he had a personal vendetta against each faster car behind him!
    Chilton - Rating him doesn't matter, because his appearance in the sport doesn't matter, at all.

    Hamilton - 8.8 Almost lost pole with a massive car advantage but was miles better than Rosberg in the race/qualifying and hardly challenged.
    Rosberg - 6 Pretty average stuff by him and almost lost 2nd to Vettel and luck of Sutil's yellow flag and marshals being so slow to move car for DRS.
    Vettel - 8.9 Did the best job out of anybody considering the lack of feel for the car in testing and Australia.

    Alonso - 8.2 Messed up his qualifying and should of done better if had his eyes open with Kvyat.
    Hulkenberg - 8.4
    Button - 6
    Massa - 6.9 had nuts to defy team
    Bottas - 7 Should of just gone for the kill Bottas.
    Magnussen - 6.2 rookie mistakes
    Kyvat - 6.5 Bit lucky considering vergne retired in front of him

    Grosjean - 7.7 Thumped Maldonado in qualifying
    Raikkonen - 6 meh
    Kobayashi - 7
    Ericsson - 5
    Chilton - 5

    Ricciardo - 7.9 Starts are better than Webbers at least, but Seb still had him in his pocket.
    Gutierrez - 6.5
    Sutil - 6.2
    Vergne - 6.6
    Bianchi - 4
    Maldonado - 4
    Perez - 6

    Didn't the team tell home to drop back about 2 secs off Vettel when he was challenging? Remember him saying if this is the beginning of that ..I don't want to be a part of that? He qualified much lower than Vettel but was in front of Vettel early in the race for a short while.. Can't say Vettel has him in his pocket yet... I would wait to see if the team allows him to challenge Vettel first. Seems like that isn't going to happen though. Seems like the team with best pit stops managed to muck up Ricciardo's and the jack man didn't care to use the jack after they wheeled back the car to the pits. I guess he was trying to see how the wheel would go on without the jack.

    Hamilton - 9.5: Qualifying was probably closer than it should've been but otherwise a perfect weekend.
    Rosberg - 6: Lacked his team mate's pace. He was all over the place on the first lap, sounded like he was in the wrong gear in turn four and Vettel almost ran in to him.
    Vettel - 9.5: Great effort to get so close to Hamilton in qualifying. Could've made life difficult for Rosberg with a cleaner start.

    Alonso - 9.5: Brilliant effort with a damaged car in Q3, but I thought he should've avoided the contact with Kvyat in the first place. His usual solid self in the race.
    Hulkenberg - 10: Completely flawless all weekend.
    Button - 8: Outqualified by his team mate, but raced well.
    Massa - 7: Outqualified Bottas, but lacked pace in the race.
    Bottas - 7.5: Had good race pace. I didn't see (or have forgotten) his start but he made a lot of ground early on.
    Magnussen - 7.5: Good qualifying again. Paid a heavy price for a small mistake with Raikkonen.
    Kyvat - 6

    Grosjean - 9: The guy's so unlucky. He was two seconds quicker than Maldonado in Q1 but only ended up one place higher. Then just missed out on a point. I thought Raikkonen getting by would be a formality but he defended excellently.
    Raikkonen - 7: Seemed on for a better weekend. Q3 was poor, hard to judge his race because he lost so much time at the start.
    Kobayashi - 7.5
    Ericsson - 4
    Chilton - 5.5: Drove incredibly slowly to yet another race finish.

    Ricciardo - 7.5: Not as quick as Vettel, but his start was excellent. Looks very assured already.
    Gutierrez - 6
    Sutil - 4: Poor qualifying and then parked his car in a stupid place when he retired.
    Vergne - 6.5
    Bianchi - 3
    Maldonado - 4: Terrible in quali.
    Perez - 5: For qualifying.

    Check picture 14 and tell me what the jack man is doing. The commentator was shouting ..get the jack under the car...get the jack under the car...all that time the wheel man was trying to put the tyre straight and the jack guy was just watching.

    Ricciardo was always slower than Vettel this weekend as he gained on him pretty quickly after the start in which he was pretty much alone going on the inside of turn 1 while Seb was trying to get Rosberg he could of easily held in front of Daniel but why screw over your team mate and your team like a certain Australian would do at Brazil in 2012.

    Daniel was only close at all because RBR kept giving him the undercut as Alonso was a threat even though Vettel is meant to have priority. Every time Vettel got out of the DRS zone with Daniel he pulled away until the undercut came round again cutting Vettel's lead again, this happened twice so Vettel's race was already being compromised by up to 10 seconds over their time together. Daniel was never going to get past and he was just burning up his tyres and fuel to keep up with Seb who was saving it for later against Rosberg at the end which nearly worked.

    Hamilton - 9.5 - Faultless weekend in both tricky conditions and more comfortable ones. Couldn't believe the tyre life and speed!
    Rosberg - 8.0 - Bit of a hiccup in quali and then couldn't match Hamilton today. That said it was still a very good drive
    Vettel - 8.5 - Also had the quali hiccup but given his car today I'm not sure what else he could have done. First lap so so but still very good

    Alonso - 7.0 - Can't decide what to give him, just didn't seem with it
    Hulkenberg - 9.0 - Outdrove the car it seems, top 3 performance along side Vettel and Hamilton
    Button - 7.0 - Same as Alonso tbh
    Massa - 6.5 - Against his low starting team mate it was a bit of a let down. Wanting team orders only one way also not cool
    Bottas - 7.5 - Not brilliant but better that a good few out there
    Magnussen - 7.0 - Think he was the better McLaren driver today, but his errors knock him back down again
    Kyvat - 8.0 - Quietly got on with a good result

    Grosjean - 7.5 - Quietly got on with a good result but seemed more iffy
    Raikkonen - 5.5 - Mean? his race was affected by others but wasn't dazzled
    Kobayashi - 7.0 - Seemed to do well?
    Ericsson - 6.5 - Seemed to do well as well but his defensive driving looked a bit much to me.
    Chilton - 6.5 - Not much to say?

    Ricciardo - 8.0 - Couldn't match Vettel but was doing everything right up to then
    Gutierrez - 6.0 - Didn't see much but he looked good in the wet
    Sutil - 4.0 awful weekend
    Vergne - N/A didn't see enough
    Bianchi - 5.0 clumsy at the start, good quali though
    Maldonado - N/A didn't see enough
    Perez - N/A didn't see enough



    (If you need scores for them all let me know and I'll guess :) )

    Hamilton - 10 - Pretty much fastest all weekend.
    Rosberg - 6 Too slow compared to Hamilton.
    Vettel - 8.5 Clearly not the best car, but closer than most think. Default 13?
    Alonso - 8 Best of the rest, silly mistake and lucky in quali
    Hulkenberg - 9 Deserves a winning car
    Button - 9 Don't think anyone could have dragged the McLaren any higher. Did well to hold off The Williams but silly gamble on inters in quali.
    Massa - 7 The car is better than this.
    Bottas - 6.5 As above and quali penalty.
    Magnussen -6.5 Looked like a rookie today, but still made the points even though he was lapped.
    Kyvat - 7.5 points again.
    Grosjean - 7 Nearly scored in the disaster Lotus.
    Raikkonen - 6.5 affected by KM contact but should have saved a point.
    Kobayashi - 7
    Ericsson - 7
    Chilton -6
    Ricciardo - 8 Shadowed the WDC and went wheel to wheel befor the No2 car issues arose. Default 13?
    Gutierrez - 6
    Sutil - 5
    Vergne -6
    Bianchi - 3
    Maldonado - 5
    Perez - 5

    Nearly worked on Rosberg? I don't see it that way. I think Rosberg had a lot more in hand. Remember them team turned down the engines of both cars during the race.... Reason being that they released Red Bull didn't have a chance to catch them. Look how Rosberg pulled away when Vettel got close to him. That wasn't by accident... He had the pace to keep Vettel behind all day. I think propel forget that the mercedes guys were in cruise mode after their engines were turned down. When u look at Lewis' pace he set fastest lep while still cruising didn't he? I think Rosberg had plenty in hand to keep Vettel behind.

    True, but he was lucky a yellow flag came out with Sutils' car being placed on track within a DRS zone so Nico could build the gap to break the DRS. Anything could of happened then if Nico had a Red Bull in front of him and with those tyre problems he had previously who knows?

    Please use this order, easier for me to collate info!

    Hamilton - 8, had a car 2 seconds a lap faster than anyone but only scraped pole, decent race, but he has a car more dominant than last years RBR.
    Rosberg - 6 couldn't drop the pack, fast on an empty track
    Vettel - 9 had no right in putting the RBR on the front row, and had no right keeping in touch with the Mercs

    Alonso -
    Bulkenberg - 9.5 Do yourslef a favour Nico, go see a surgeon and lose some excess body parts, then a big team might take a punt. Exactly how much does a kidney weigh?, there's half a second right there.
    Button - 6 pootled around, only seemed to be racing his team-mate, another long season for McLaren.
    Massa - 5 did okay, but his refusal to allow Bottas through was poor form.
    Bottas - 6 made his way quickly through the field but then stagnated a bit.
    Magnussen - 6 kept out of trouble
    Kyvat -7 2 points finishes out of 2, and nearly made Q3, is showing that he belongs in F1
    Grosjean - 6 finished, not much more can be said
    Raikkonen - proving why I've never really rated him.
    Kobayashi - 7 Did what he could do and beat his team-mate and the Marussia's
    Ericsson - 6 Beat the Marussias
    Chilton - 6 Chilton in last of the runners shock

    Ricciardo - 7 Did okay, outperformed by SV but was looking good for 4th until that run of horrendous luck
    Gutierrez - 7 Decent quali performance but let down by the car
    Sutil - 5 bring out the gimp
    Vergne - 7 Made Q3 again, but let down by the power unit.
    Bianchi - 4 tsk
    Maldonado - 4 the Lotus is making him look as bad as most people think he is.
    Perez - 4 porr Quali, DNS

    Hamilton - 9 Did little wrong all weekend, made best use of a dominant car and comprehensively beat his teammate
    Rosberg - 7 Solid weekend but too far off Hamilton's pace
    Vettel - 8 Made the best of the car, but what do you expect a 4 x WDC to do?

    Alonso - 7 Can't see why everyone has given him 9/9.5!? Turned into Kyvatt and was fortunate the red flag allowed his car time to be fixed. Raced well and nice overtake but was hardly a vintage drive.
    Hulkenberg - 9 Outdriving his car and monstering his teammate. Clearly likes to play the underdog and it suits him well.
    Button - 6 Made a mess of qualifying and soldiered on in the race to get a good finish
    Massa - 7 Good weekend for him and held his nerve in the face of team orders.
    Bottas - 7 Another good drive to release the locked in potential he couldn't show last year. Never really had the pace to attack Button so can't complain about Massa not yielding.
    Magnussen - 6 A bit of a hit and miss weekend for the young Dane. He will have better days.
    Kyvat - 8 Another impressive display from the lad. Will ensure Ricciardo has to show good form to avoid being displaced by this lad at the end of the season.

    Grosjean - 7 Hustled the recalcitrant Lotus to a finish. Maybe should have got an 8 just for sheer bravery to drive it!
    Raikkonen - 5 Looked strong on Fri/Sat, but bad quali and so-so race.
    Kobayashi - 7 Seemed to enjoy himself more this weekend. Still got that fight in him
    Ericsson - 5 Silly error in quali and only just held off Chilton in the race
    Chilton - 6 Boring Boring Chilton

    Ricciardo - 6
    Gutierrez - 6
    Sutil - 4
    Vergne - 6
    Bianchi - 6
    Maldonado - 5
    Perez - 6 Just for quali

    never know, he could use the money to help buy another drive, or keep it cryogenically frozen in case he needs it later. there's quite a few feet of intestine he could lose too, pinkie toes are useless, the gall bladder can go, along with quite a large portion of the liver, can get rid of the stomach if you want too, and for that extra touch, you can replace the fibula with a lightweight carbon fibre one or just take it out completely.
