Italian Grand Prix driver ratings
Our star performances from the Italian GP weekend featured a dominant drive out front, a mega charge through the field and an accomplished weekend effort from a newcomer.
44 Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes F1 W08
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 1 stop (super-soft/soft)
Rating: 9
Hamilton was supreme in qualifying again to claim the record 69th pole, and was only briefly threatened in a race he controlled from the front.
He felt he had "a few tenths" on Bottas "the majority of the time". The only lapses were a brief gravelly moment at Roggia and a small lock-up at Rettifilo. In his own words, a "98.2% perfect" race.
