US Grand Prix driver ratings
A thrilling race with plenty of hard-charging performances, but only one that earned a maximum 10-out-of-10 score in BEN ANDERSON's US GP driver ratings
6 NICO ROSBERG
Mercedes F1 W06
Start: 1st
Finish: 2nd
Strategy: 2 stops (intermediate/soft/soft)
Rating: 9
Superficially, this looked like another opportunity blown by Rosberg. The race was his to win and he lost it - and with it his threadbare hopes of the title - with a mistake on cold tyres.
