Abu Dhabi Grand Prix driver ratings
There were no perfect scores from the final F1 weekend of the season, although that's partly down to the unique situation created by the world title situation at the front
6 Nico Rosberg
Mercedes F1 W07
Start: 2nd
Finish: 2nd
Strategy: 2 stops (ultra-soft/soft/soft)
Rating: 8
Rosberg was the second best Mercedes driver in Abu Dhabi this year, but that's all he needed to be. He showed steel to pull off a pass on Verstappen when asked, resisted a sustained late attack from Vettel, and generally stood firm in the face of Hamilton's go-slow tactics, refusing to crack under enormous pressure. A job very well done.
