LEWIS HAMILTON

FINISH: 2ND

The Briton, having already secured his third driver’s championship, could afford to be a little laid back, but still drove confidently to finish behind Rosberg.

FERNANDO ALONSO

FINISH: DNF

Poor in qualifying, pathetic in the race, McLaren’s would be eager for their nightmare season to end, with Alonso forced to retire after just one lap.

KIMI RAIKKONEN

FINISH: DNF

Raikkonen broke his suspension after colliding with Bottas for the second time in three races, and with just two races to go, it looks unlikely he has a future with the prancing horses.

SEBASTIAN VETTEL

FINISH: DNF

Like teammate Raikkonen, Vettel had an incident-packed race before crashing out on lap 50, having survived a first lap collision with Autralian Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull.

JENSON BUTTON

FINISH: 14TH

Had a 70 place grid penalty, which meant starting at the back, and was unable to fend off rivals on the straight.
