Italian Grand Prix - Driver ratings

After a controversial end to the Italian Grand Prix, F1i looks at how all 20 drivers fared and gives a rating out of 10

Lewis Hamilton - (Winner, pole position, 25 points): 10/10

The tyre pressure controversy after the race overshadowed the excellent performance Hamilton delivered this weekend. Comfortably fastest in FP1, he went on to complete a clean sweep of all three sessions and then topped the times throughout qualifying to secure an 11th pole position from 12 races. Able to hold off Sebastian Vettel at the start, Hamilton pulled away with ease and then delivered consistent quick laps at the end of the race when given the hurry-up by Mercedes. Led every lap and had the fastest lap to boot. Flawless driving.
