Austrian Grand Prix driver ratings
Calm defending under intense pressure was seemingly the way to a perfect score in this week's driver ratings, with two drivers achieving full marks in the Austrian Grand Prix
44 Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes F1 W08
Start: 8th
Finish: 4th
Strategy: 1 stop (super-soft/ultra-soft)
Rating: 9
Hamilton was very fast with an ageing engine on Friday, but admitted to being off-colour in Q3. Brake failure on Saturday morning and running super-softs in Q2 to facilitate an alternative strategy in the face of a grid penalty didn't help, but Hamilton came alive as the race wore on.
