Mexico Grand Prix: Driver ratings (6-10)

What an afternoon it was in Mexico! And not just for the front-runners in the race. We give an assessment of how the second five drivers performed in the Mexican Grand Prix.

With the help of Daniel Ricciardo's retirement, Hulkenberg moved up a place from his qualifying position. A fairly standard drive, but one that more or less wraps up the 'best of the rest' spot. He managed 57 laps on one set of tyres.

Leclerc basically kept himself out of trouble but did well enough to equal his second-highest finish in F1. Some good overtakes and great driving to avoid any contact sets him up well for his final two races before moving to Ferrari.

What a race from Vandoorne. He went 57 laps on a set of supersofts which probably would have been virtual ice rinks. He didn't make a mistake and was certainly his best drive in F1.

Not a lot has been said about Ericsson. He moved up just the one place but thought off some strong attacks. Just as Leclerc did, he managed to do a 1 stopper, something which wasn't looking likely before the race.

A good drive from Gasly. He moved up into the points having qualified in 15th place behind team-mate Hartley. He'll probably be desperate to take up Daniel Ricciardo's offer of sitting in the Red Bull early!
