#6 Renault

Nico Hülkenberg made a strong case for himself as he looks for a seat for next season

Nico Hülkenberg - P8

Nico Hülkenberg gambled by pitting earlier than most others when he was going nowhere further than 13th position. Once the medium sets were on, the German driver did much better to reach the cusp of a points-scoring finish. A two-stop strategy then seemed to do the trick for Nico as a late surge saw him push past the other drivers to finish P8.

Driver Rating- 6/10

Daniel Ricciardo - P14

Daniel Ricciardo did well to qualify in sixth place behind his former teammate, Max Verstappen. The race, however, was a different story. The Aussie driver began the race down in P10 due to a power unit component change.

During the first lap confusion, the Australian lost out as he was hit from behind and had to pit with floor damage. He initially moved up places to reach P7, pushing past both the Williams and Kevin Magnussen to do so. However, the 43 lap old tyres did not help matters by the end as he was ultimately pushed back to 14th.

Driver Rating – 5/10
