We rate the drivers after Abu Dhabi
Vettel may have been out of it by the end of lap one, but the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix produced a number of strong performances - not least from Hamilton and Alonso. Edd Straw rates the drivers after the Yas Marina race
Started: 1st Finished: Retired - puncture/suspension damage
Strategy: 0 stops (option)
It began, just as it had in Turkey, Canada and Japan, with a shunt during Friday practice as the world champion overdid it into Turn 1 and found the TecPro barriers.
