F1 Chinese GP Driver Ratings: Lewis Hamilton rules at Shanghai, Ferrari play catch-up to Mercedes

#4 Alfa Romeo: Kimi Raikkonen - 9th

F1 Grand Prix of China - Final Practice

Kimi scored a fine P9 for the Hinwill-based team and in the process, collected two valuable points for Alfa Romeo, who currently stand on fifth at the Constructor Standings, on par with Renault.

For a driver whose only won once in China - the sensational 2007 drive in Shanghai - it's not too disappointing to note the oldest man on the grid still making a few flying moves over guys much younger him, Grosjean and Hulkenburg for example. Keep it up, Iceman!

Antonio Giovinazzi - 15th

F1 Grand Prix of China

Antonio Giovinazzi finished 15th on the grid at China. In doing so, he yet again failed to open his account for points this year and with 18 more races to go, you can only hope the young Italian gets off the mark sooner rather than later.

But with that being said, Giovinazzi would take his P15 anyday after failing to set a time during qualifying, thus suffering the ignominy of being one of only two drivers on the grid who couldn't put a hot lap together for China.
