1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Red Bull-Renault RB10
Start: 15th
Finish: 4th
Strategy: 3 stops (medium/hard/medium/medium)
Rating: 9
Vettel responded superbly to the double disappointments of an electrical problem that ruined Friday and a gearbox problem that struck early in Q3 and, thanks to the resulting five-place penalty, left him 15th on the grid.
