AUTOSPORT's Belgian GP driver ratings
After a Belgian Grand Prix weekend of fraught racing and drivers embroiled in controversies on and off the track, EDD STRAW gives his verdict on the field's performances
1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Red Bull-Renault RB10
Start: 3rd
Finish: 5th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)
Rating: 7
His pace compared well to Ricciardo during practice and qualifying, but after a bold attempt to take the lead on the first lap, Vettel's race unravelled thanks first to the mistake at Pouhon that allowed Ricciardo past and then proving unable to do a two-stopper.
