Autosport says :- Vettel: 10 Webber: 6 Alonso: 9 Massa: 5 Button: 5 Perez: 8 Kimi: 8 Grosjean: 8 Rosberg: 8 Hamilton: 8 Hulk: 6 Gutierrez: 5 di Resta: 9 Sutil: 7 Maldonado: 7 Bottas: 6 Vergne: 4 Ricciardo: 6 Pic: 8 Van der Garde: 6 Bianchi: 7 Chilton: 7 A few controversial ones in there. What do we reckon?
Vettel: 9 - Not quite flawless as missed pole and got doen at the start by Alonso. Controlled the rest of the race to perfection though. Webber: 6 - Off the pace of Vettel and lost vital points on the last lap Alonso: 8 - Hampered by DRS issues, but not as bad as everyone made out as managed to disguise one of his DRS stops with a tyre-change, so effectively only stopped once more than the others. Massa: 5 - Where has the pace from his first two races gone? Button: 6 - 5 was a bit harsh as had some racey moments and outqualified Perez only to slip back in the race Perez: 8 - Much better race. Feisty but can consider himself lucky not to have had a major falling out with this team! Kimi: 8 - Unusually average qualifying, but fine race as ever. Grosjean: 9 - Much better weekend and very measured drive to get 3rd. Much more like the Grosjean we were expecting this year. Rosberg: 7 - Pole was great, but fell back badly in the race Hamilton: 8 - Put to bed the notion that he cannot look after his tyres and can see the bigger picture in the race. 5th higher than most thought he would get. Hulk: 6 - Yeah, never really in the mix all weekend Gutierrez: 4 - Still poor di Resta: 9 - Best weekend for him for a long time. Only just missed out on a deserved podium. Sutil: 7 - Outqualified again so was in the pack when he got tagged. Maldonado: 7 - Williams still off the pace but made a good job to get close to the top 10. Bottas: 6 - Probably did what he could with his machinery. Vergne: 4 - Continues to dissapoint. Ricciardo: 6 - Not the stellar weekend as in China but clearly better then Vergne still. Pic: 8 - Comfortbably the best of the back 4. Heikki gave him the kick he neeed? Van der Garde: 5 - Still to far off the pace. Bianchi: 7 - Not helped by lack of Friday track time and couldn't beat Pic. Still looks good Chilton: 6 - Hard to know what he does, but solid performance again without any fireworks
Redbull: Vettel: 9/9, 10 if he'd got pole, great overtake on Alonso, once past Rosberg it really was a case of counting down the laps, one of his most assured wins? Webber: 6/6, score some points but blown away by his team mate... Ferrari: Alonso: 9/9, Agreed, to get back a decent haul of points after making 1 stop more than those he was fighting towards the end of the race and with no DRS, great drive Massa: 6/7, Harsh, were the tyre failures his fault? If not I think its harsh to knock him down a few points because of it, had been in the mix up until the first failure. McLaren: Button: 5/6, Qualified well, raced well, just because Perez was the better driver on the day doesn't mean he gets that low a mark. Perez: 8/8, Apart from hitting Button in the rear, the rest was tough but "fair", in a decent McLaren the boy could do well. Lotus: Kimi: 8/8, What happened in qualifying? if he started further up the field he could have challanged for the win! Grosjean: 8/9, Superb drive, made some nice clean over takes whilst at the same time taking care of his tyres, here's hoping for an up turn in form. Mecedes: Rosberg: 8/8, Great quali lap, raced as best he could in a rear tyre hungry Merc. Hamilton: 8/8, Unlucky that a tyre failure lead to a gear box change but raced well/clever, looked after his tyres and made the move up the field at the end! Sauber: Hulk: 6/7, Car wasn't great but got the best out of it. Gutierrez: 5/4, Has no place in F1! Force India: di Resta: 9/9, Great quali and followed that up with a very solid race drive, stop the whinging Paul and you could have another fan! Sutil: 7/7, Another good showing in quali, shame about the first lap incident, showed with some fastest lap times towards the end of the race that the he & car had the pace. Williams: Maldonado: 7/7, Dog of a car, did the best he could! Bottas: 6/7, See Maldonado Torro Rosso: Vergne: 4/4, Not one of his better outings. Ricciardo: 6/7, Car too wasn't great, best he could do I guess. Caterham: Pic: 8/8, Well done to Caterham and Pic, developments made and Pic made great use of them. Van der Garde: 6/6, Not an utter burk (sorry, he's cost me points in the sweepstakes, so my opinion maybe a bit biased) Marussia: Bianchi: 7/7, Again, qualified and raced well. Chilton: 7/6, Still a big game in qualifying to his team mate, didn't do anything wrong in the race though.
Autosport/Me Vettel: 10 / 9 - Couldnt have done anymore except get pole, but its easy when you're getting the luck in the best car Webber: 6 / 6 - Average as usual Alonso: 9 / 9 - Really unlucky but got some points, could be crucial for the championship Massa: 5 / 6 - Again unlucky, deserved better Button: 5 / 4 - Turned into di Resta with the amount of moaning he did. Perez: 8 / 8 - Finally showed what he can do, can only hope he keeps it up Kimi: 8 / 7 - Cracked in qualifying and wouldnt have been as far up if the Ferrari's didnt get so much bad luck Grosjean: 8 / 7 - See Kimi Rosberg: 8 / 7 - Great pole but only 2 points.... Hamilton: 8 / 7 - Where were you half the weekend? Somehow finished 5th though Hulk: 6 / 7 - Car was nowhere Gutierrez: 5 / 6 - See above di Resta: 9 / 8 - Great car, should have done more Sutil: 7 / 7 - Very unlucky as always, he probably would have got the podium if he wasn't taken out Maldonado: 7 / 8 - Crap car and nearly got points, finally back to last years performance? Bottas: 6 / 7 - Up to 5th at one point but then only went backwards.. Vergne: 4 / 6 - As always crap in quali but taken out in the race Ricciardo: 6 / 6 - Didnt notice him Pic: 8 / 9 - Stayed on the lead lap until into the lap 50's.. Beat Gutierrez and beat Bianchi by 40 seconds.. Only 9.7 behind Ricciardo, great drive Van der Garde: 6 / 4 - Lapped by everyone including Chilton (embarrassing much?) may not have Pic's car but thats poor Bianchi: 7 / 7 - Where was he? Chilton: 7 / 6 - Only 15 seconds behind Bianchi but he's still not good enough
Vettel: 10 - as good as Alonso last week Webber: 6 - was in the mix but not at the top like he should be Alonso: 9 - man on a mission with no DRS. if his DRS had fixed then he still would of got a podium Massa: 5 - not his fault. Something dodgy with his tyres Button: 7 - was involved in a good battle but his team mate stole his thunder Perez: 8 - Mr Perez has arrived though he wasnt like this at sauber??? Kimi: 9 - another podium this is looking very good for the silent assasin Grosjean: 9 - brilliant drive through the field cant fault him Rosberg: 7 - pole was sweet but race was bitter Hamilton: 8 - another strong drive... well 2ndhalf Hulk: 6 - not a day for the sauber Gutierrez: 1 - serously? couldnt even beat a caterham di Resta: 10 - great drive but the FI couldnt offer more Sutil: 7 - so-so Maldonado: 6 - still not arrived Bottas: 6 - getting better now Vergne: 4 - only man to retire Ricciardo: 6 - last week seems so far away Pic: 10 - Wow, prooven he is good enough Van der Garde: 6 - was gong arond the sam pace as Heikki Bianchi: 7 - not the strongest this time. He is human Chilton: 6 - still solid
Vettel: 10/9 Missed pole but made some great early moves to take the lead. From thereon in it looked easy. Webber: 6/6 Lukewarm compared to his team mate Alonso: 9/8 A very good performance but I feel his troubles have been overstated. Massa: 5/6 Worse woes than his team mate but still a bit disappointing. Button: 5/6 Not bad but outclassed by his junior team mate. Perez: 8/9 Defied expectations, drove on the limit, a thrilling performance Kimi: 8/8 Another strong drive from Kimi Grosjean: 8/9 As I understand it his car is inferior to Kimi's, hence the extra point Rosberg: 8/7 Great pole but his team mate drove a much better race. Hamilton: 8/9 A deceptively strong, mature drive from Lewis - softly, softly... Hulk: 6/6 Probably the car but still finished behind Maldo Gutierrez: 5/5 The car was bad but still needs to up his game di Resta: 9/9 A little unlucky to miss the podium, very impressive nonetheless Sutil: 7/7 They say bad luck comes in threes so I hope this will be the end of it Maldonado: 7/8 Outdrove that dog of a car to just miss a point Bottas: 6/6 Not bad but outshone by his team mate Vergne: 4/5 Rotten luck again Ricciardo: 6/6 Nothing special this time Pic: 8/9 Last year he showed signs that he may be special, here we saw this for the first time this year Van der Garde: 6/6 Not bad, especially considering his car was inferior. Bianchi: 7/7 Less convincing than in previous races. Chilton: 7/6 Not bad.
