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 who hasn't always had it easy so far this year
44 Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes F1 W08
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.
