Why? Because you need to see the value of pilots also where the car is not competitive. And because the first you have to defeat in Formula 1 is your teammate!

Rating or tires change – we will award tires according to the pilots’ performance in every Grand Prix. The best performance will be awarded with supersoft tires and the worst with rain tires, meaning that a rating of 6 is the maximum and 1 is the minimum. We will not take into account the performance of the car or other things that are not under the direct control of the pilots.

(+) Pilot of the race: Sergio Perez

(-) Cab driver: goes to the Williams team for missing a victory for lack of inspiration: the second tire change came in too late.

Red Bull: Vettel rating 4 (12, 21) – Ricciardo rating 5 (6, 8)

Things do not look good for Red Bull, nor for world champion Sebastian Vettel. Ricciardo, however, is riding high, and the fact that he again surpasses his teammate during qualifications is a great achievement.

Mercedes: Rosberg rating 6 (3, 1) – Hamilton rating 5 (9, 2)

Hamilton ran a fantastic race, but the rating awarded is for the whole weekend and the two mistakes made in two consecutive laps during qualifications show again the fragility of the Brit’s psychic. Rosberg handled pressure well, and starts to learn to work under these conditions, something which is not favourable for Hamilton.

Ferrari: Alonso rating 6 (4, 5) – Raikkonen rating 4 (8, 10)

We cannot not remember all the ‘great’ F1 analysts who “annihilated” Schumacher during the first year following his return, when he was beated by Rosberg in a few races. The fight waged by the now bedridden German was fiercer than what Raikkonen is facing. The same great analysts now find excuses for Kimi for being slaughtered by Alonso. Raikkonen is a great talent but does not work for his results which means he’s not a great sportsman. Another good race for Alonso, but we’re asking ourselves, much like he is: what’s the point?

McLaren: Button rating 4 (11, 11)  – Magnussen rating 6 (6, 7 )

Jenson Button said he doesn’t want to withdraw from Formula 1 at the end of this season. Well, in order to convince the people at Honda – who are aiming for the world title – he has to come up with more.

Force India: Hulkenberg rating 5 (10, 9) – Perez rating 6 (15, 6)

When it comes to Force India, it’s either Hulkenberg or Perez in the front. However, Perez joining the team and achieving notable results took some of the aura that had surrounded his teammate, Nico.

Sauber: Sutil rating 6 (16, 13) – Gutierrez rating 4 (17, 19 )

Williams: Massa rating 6 (1, 4) – Bottas rating 6 (2, 3)

The highest rating also goes to Felipe since he lost his place in front of Bottas and the Mercedes people because of his team, but our point for the race goes to Valtteri.

Toro Rosso: Kvyat rating 6 (7, 22) – Vergne rating 6 (14, 20)

Toro Rosso came with some modifications to the chassis, and they seem to have had a negative effect, causing a double dropout for the team.
