Mark Webber – 8/10
After being at par with Vettel throughout practice, a KERS and gearbox issue prevented Webber from challenging for pole position. Instead, he had to start the race from 10th place. But since the Australian didn’t set any lap times in Q3, he was given a free tyre choice for start of the race. And Webber chose the medium tyres on which he moved into 7th place by the very first lap, ahead of any other medium tyre starter. This helped him in running in lead and more importantly in clean air for some part of the race, once soft tyre starters had made their pit stops. He finally switched to soft tyres on lap 60 for a short stint, hoping to catch Vettel for final spot on the podium. But he just didn’t seem to have the pace to overcome a 12 second gap and had to ultimately settle for fourth place.
