Japanese Grand Prix driver ratings

Plenty of high marks up and down the field after an eventful and entertaining race at Suzuka, where even some of the drivers held back by machinery joined the leaders in putting in star performances

6 Nico Rosberg
Mercedes F1 W07

Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (soft/hard/hard)

Rating: 10

Rosberg was superb all weekend at Suzuka, topping every session. He loves the track, and he found his groove quickly. He had a small wobble at the start of Q3, but maintained a tiny but decisive edge over Hamilton nonetheless.
