Abu Dhabi Grand Prix driver ratings
Poor scores for three drivers often lauded, but full marks for two who have had tough times in the past, as BEN ANDERSON judges the quality of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix performances
6 NICO ROSBERG
Mercedes F1 W06
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/soft/soft)
Rating: 10
Rosberg's performance in taking a sixth pole in succession was sublime. He made a lot of his "very old" engine costing him power, but this deficit was estimated to be worth just 0.05s in reality.
