The sky driver ratings always laughable at best. However I am not sure where/how you determine "Predictably the media are on his back already and Hamilton given an (undeserved IMO) low score.

Yes I think Lewis deserved around the "8" mark for his performance (it wasnt his usual stellar drive that we have all come to expect from him)... but from the below article I dont see them "being on Lewis`s back already"....perhaps I just see things from a different perspective.

Sky driver ratings:

Rather like the man whose biggest records he's chasing this year, Michael Schumacher, the Austrian GP has not always been the kindest to Lewis Hamilton.
Still, the world champion looked to have hit the new season absolutely running by topping all three practice sessions on Friday and Saturday morning. Yet Bottas edged the pole battle in qualifying with Hamilton - eventually, once the stewards viewed the conclusive evidence - dropping down to fifth on the grid for not slowing for yellow lights. He was up to second by the race's 11th lap and fast-catching Bottas, but the first Safety Car cut down his strategy options considerably.

Mercedes' subsequent reliability worries, two more quick-fire Safety Cars, and a tangle with Alex Albon which he was penalised for meant that the opening weekend ultimately just didn't quite work out for the six-time champion. "I drove my heart out in the race, I did everything I could - but it was just one of those weekends. There are lots of areas where I can improve," concluded Hamilton, who is again playing points catch-up after race one of a shortened season.
