Fifth was Fernando Alonso, who once again carried the flag for Aston Martin despite a difficult season results-wise, climbing an impressive four places compared to last year.<\/p>\n

Sixth place belonged to Carlos Sainz, who in his first year with Williams delivered two surprise podiums, bouncing back after a challenging opening phase of the season in which he struggled against his new team-mate.<\/p>\n
