A champion crowned, some long relationships ending, a new face on the grid, and just one 10 out of 10 to end the season - EDD STRAW rates the F1 pack's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix form
1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Red Bull-Renault RB10
Start: Pits
Finish: 8th
Strategy: 2 tops (soft/soft/supersoft)
Rating: 7
Eighth from the back doesn't sound too bad until you compare Vettel's race with that of Ricciardo.
