Hungarian GP driver ratings（已为之一惊）

6 NICO ROSBERG
Mercedes F1 W06

Start: 2nd
Finish: 8th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/medium/medium/soft)

Rating: 3

This was a poor race for Rosberg. A Mercedes team set-up error ruined Friday, but he couldn't explain the massive gap to team-mate Hamilton in qualifying, nor the baffling lack of pace compared to Ferrari in the race.

His desire to remain on the slower tyre, despite the fact he was no faster on it than Ricciardo's Red Bull, was misguided. Rosberg should have been fighting for victory, not battling (unsuccessfully) to hang on to a podium.

44 LEWIS HAMILTON
Mercedes F1 W06

Start: 1st
Finish: 6th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 5

This was easily Hamilton's most dominant Friday and Saturday of the season, yet he somehow contrived to turn what looked like certain victory into sixth place. His start was poor, and made significant errors at key points in the race, which meant he was always on the back foot.

The champion showed formidable pace, but was the architect of his own downfall. Hamilton will be relived to have extended his points lead after a race that messy.

3 DANIEL RICCIARDO
Red Bull-Renault RB11

Start: 4th
Finish: 3rd
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/medium/soft/soft)

Rating: 8

Ricciardo felt the recently updated RB11 would work well on this circuit and was proved right. He showed formidable high-fuel pace on Friday and did superbly to qualify within 0.035s of Vettel's Ferrari.

He was prodigiously fast in the race too, but fortunate to finish after getting involved in so much contact (he bounced off Bottas and both Mercedes!). Great to watch, but perhaps a little over-zealous, which turned a possible second place into third.

26 DANIIL KVYAT
Red Bull-Renault RB11

Start: 7th
Finish: 2nd
Strategy: 2 stops (soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 6

Kvyat has generally been pushing Ricciardo harder recently and looked quick on Friday, but he felt far less comfortable on Saturday and ended up well adrift in qualifying (0.548s) after a "dirty" session.

A vibration from locking up at Turn 1 hampered his race pace, but he deserves credit for regrouping. He admitted to being off the pace this weekend, though, and he only finished so high up because of his rivals' misfortunes.

19 FELIPE MASSA
Williams-Mercedes FW37

Start: 8th
Finish: 12th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/medium/soft/soft)

Rating: 4

Massa must wait until Spa for Williams's new front wing, on account of being behind Bottas in the points, and that probably partly explained the three-tenth gap between them in qualifying.

He endured a messy race, which began with a penalty for lining up on the grid incorrectly, which he blamed on not being able to see the yellow marker line. He accepted his pace was poor in a race in which decent points were there for the taking.

77 VALTTERI BOTTAS
Williams-Mercedes FW37

Start: 6th
Finish: 13th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 8

Williams introduced its latest new front wing a race earlier than planned, which delivered a small gain on a track where the FW37 wasn't as strong as Ferrari or Red Bull.

Bottas did well to outqualify Kvyat on Saturday and the Finn also drove well in the race, fighting with the Red Bulls until getting tagged by Verstappen's Toro Rosso shortly after the restart. The resultant puncture crushed a certain points finish into dust.

5 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Ferrari SF15-T

Start: 3rd
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (soft/soft/medium)

Rating: 10

Vettel bounced back brilliantly from a messy Friday, which featured several spins as Ferrari lost its way on set-up, to qualify in his customary best-of-the-rest position behind Mercedes. He made an excellent start and showed steel to muscle his way into the lead on the run down to Turn 1.

The German's race was relatively straightforward from there, as the Mercedes fightback imploded, but he showed excellent speed and expertly managed the slender gap to Rosberg late-on.

7 KIMI RAIKKONEN
Ferrari SF15-T

Start: 5th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (soft/soft/medium/soft/retired)

Rating: 8

Raikkonen admitted he should have done better in qualifying, even allowing for the wing failure on Friday morning and the water leak in third practice that compromised his build-up. He made up for that with a brilliantly feisty opening to the race to pass Ricciardo and the two Mercedes.

Thereafter he played wingman to Vettel, not quite able to live with his team-mate, but looking good for second until his MGU-K failed. A much better performance after his recent run of difficult weekends.

14 FERNANDO ALONSO
McLaren-Honda MP4-30

Start: 15th
Finish: 5th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 9

Alonso came to Hungary expecting a good result, on a circuit that limited the effects of Honda's power disadvantage, but those hopes looked dashed by a problem in the electrical harness that shut his car down in Q2.

He drove a fine race, in which he split the Toro Rossos until Hulkenberg's shunt disrupted events. Alonso lost touch with Verstappen late on, but he was quick enough on fresh rubber to claim McLaren's best result of the season.

22 JENSON BUTTON
McLaren-Honda MP4-30

Start: 16th
Finish: 9th
Strategy: 2 stops (soft/soft/medium)

Rating: 7

Button fancied his chances of making Q3 here, having enjoyed a largely trouble free build-up in practice, but a temporary failure of his car's ERS to deploy (thanks to a problem with the software on the steering wheel) at a crucial moment in qualifying meant an unfortunate Q1 exit.

He wasn't far behind Alonso for most of the race, but not making an extra stop for fresh tyres under the safety car proved costly.

11 SERGIO PEREZ
Force India-Mercedes VJM08

Start: 13th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (soft/soft/medium/soft/retired)

Rating: 6

The spectacular free practice shunt - that ended with him upside down - ruined Perez's weekend. He missed practice two while the team investigated the suspension failure, and the crash also destroyed new parts of which there were no spares. Force India said this accounted for roughly half of Perez's 0.635s gap to team-mate Hulkenberg in qualifying.

He ran eighth after an excellent first lap, but the race unravelled thanks to contact with Maldonado, a precautionary wing change after Hulkenberg's crash, and brake fade which led to Force India calling time on his race.

27 NICO HULKENBERG
Force India-Mercedes VJM08

Start: 11th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (soft/soft/medium/retired)

Rating: 8

Hulkenberg probably should have bumped Grosjean's Lotus out of the top 10 in qualifying, given the updated Force India is good enough to be a Q3 regular, but his preparation was hampered by missing practice two as a precaution while the team investigated Perez's suspension failure.

He recovered with a brilliant first lap in the race to run fifth, and was driving well enough to keep pace with the Williams of Bottas until a front wing failure on the main straight sent him into the wall.

33 MAX VERSTAPPEN
Toro Rosso-Renault STR10

Start: 9th
Finish: 4th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 9

Friday practice was ruined by electrical problems, but Verstappen recovered superbly and executed his cleanest qualifying session of the season to lap within 0.150s of Massa's Williams.

He started the race badly, but a blend of fast driving, good strategy and a little luck carried him back into contention on a weekend in which he was the stronger of the two Toro Rosso drivers. Speeding under the safety car was careless, but it didn't cost him a better result.

55 CARLOS SAINZ JR
Toro Rosso-Renault STR10

Start: 12th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (soft/soft/medium/retired)

Rating: 7

Normally so strong on Saturdays, Sainz struggled in qualifying, and was fortunate not get bumped out by Button's McLaren in Q1. He wasn't happy with his brakes and lost confidence after practice three when the changing conditions shifted his car's balance to oversteer.

He drove much better in the race, despite losing the strategic advantage to his team-mate, and deserved to score points but for a faulty hose clip that robbed his engine of boost pressure.

8 ROMAIN GROSJEAN
Lotus-Mercedes E23

Start: 10th
Finish: 7th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 7

Grosjean admitted ongoing money trouble at Lotus is hurting the E23's rate of development and he didn't expect to make Q3 after practice, so 10th in qualifying was a great effort given the car's limitations.

The race began badly when he got forced off track on the first lap, and he failed to make much of an impression on Button's McLaren until running fresher tyres at the end. He salvaged points, but it was not one of his finest races.

13 PASTOR MALDONADO
Lotus-Mercedes E23

Start: 14th
Finish: 14th
Strategy: 2 stops (medium/soft/soft)

Rating: 2

Maldonado is an infuriating driver, capable of blistering speed and silly mistakes in equal measure. Witness qualifying here, where the Venezuelan delivered a top-10 laptime in Q1 in a difficult car, only to mess up in Q2 and finish almost eight tenths adrift of his team-mate.

He drove poorly in the race and picked up three separate penalties for various misdemeanours. Without the time lost as a result he would have finished in the points.

28 WILL STEVENS
Marussia-Ferrari MR-03B

Start: 20th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (soft/soft/medium/soft/retired)

Rating: 5

This was not one of Stevens' best weekends since he became a grand prix driver. He has enjoyed an edge over team-mate Merhi for most of the season, but that wasn't in evidence here.

Stevens qualified more than half a second adrift of Merhi, but he was more competitive (though still not as strong) in the race. Manor felt the circuit layout and struggling with the medium tyre all weekend accounted for a below-par performance.

98 ROBERTO MERHI
Marussia-Ferrari MR-03B

Start: 19th
Finish: 15th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 8

Merhi felt his Silverstone performance was clouded by using an old engine, following a failure at the Red Bull Ring, but he was stronger here with a fresh unit fitted. Racing in the recent Formula Renault 3.5 Hungaroring round negated the effect of missing first practice so Fabio Leimer could drive, Merhi suggested, and the team reckoned this "lairy" track suited his style.

The race comparison to Stevens was hindered by an early stop to fix a loose headrest, but there's no doubt Merhi was better than his team-mate here.

9 MARCUS ERICSSON
Sauber-Ferrari C34

Start: 17th
Finish: 10th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 8

Ericsson felt he might have an edge on his team-mate at this circuit and that proved to be so, as he qualified and finished best of the two Saubers. He reckons some new-found mental strength is helping him and this was arguably his most consistent display since joining the team.

He dropped behind Merhi's Manor on the first lap, but kept ahead of Nasr throughout the race and capitalised on rivals' troubles to bag the final point.

12 FELIPE NASR
Sauber-Ferrari C34

Start: 18th
Finish: 11th
Strategy: 3 stops (soft/soft/medium/soft)

Rating: 6

Nasr knew he'd be in for a tough time at this race, thanks to a bumpy circuit layout that the C34 is a bit too lazy to negotiate quickly.

He reckoned an alternative blanket strategy for pre-heating the tyres accounted for his qualifying deficit to Ericsson, and was frustrated at not being able to try a divergent strategy to beat his team-mate in the race. It was close, but Nasr was ultimately second best this weekend.
