Looks like Ocon does it again, best of the young guys and only 8 seconds behind his team mate. Only a tenth off in qualy.
Vandoorne couldn't get close to Alonso in qualifying but at least finished a race, finally. Did he end up making the one strategy to the end?
No doesn't look like he did, he stopped again on lap 24. Odd. Good to finish ahead of Saubers and not last, they did the same strategy as him.
Stroll got back up to 11th which is okay considering he was backwards on the lap one. Still 20 seconds behind Massa who had to do an extra pit stop at the end. He got back in front of a lot of teams, not bad for the guy everyone considers the weakest new entrant.
Palmer taken out on lap one by Grosjean, (and I'd consider that more Grosjean fault than Palmers). But in qualy he was almost a second down on Hulk. 8th vs 16th. That's really poor and he should be closer on one lap pace than this.
Wehrlein beat Ericsson in qualy but finished last, a long way behind the race. I'm not sure what the reason is for this but he must have had some issues. He was running ahead of Ericsson until lap 20, stayed with him after the pit stops but then steadily started dropping late in the race.
And that leaves Magnussen, who easily outqualified Grosjean to make q2, 1.2sec faster! In the race that only meant 13th, only finishing ahead of the slower two-stoppers.
