Wrapping up another winning weekend at the #ItalianGP 121172 "I'm not sure if anyone could stop Max today. The whole team has been performing at such a high level all season and our performance all weekend has been brilliant."Wrapping up another winning weekend at the #ItalianGP The true beauty of any artist's performance is his ability to make it look easy. Verstappen has now won five races in a row this season and he has made it look easy. The F1 Italian GP was just another race where Verstappen left everyone thinking about what more they need to do to beat him. It is crucial to point out that the Red Bull-Max Verstappen team together is making things work this season and that is essential for the success of any driver in F1.
Incredible drive today @CarlosSainz55

The way he cut through the entire midfield one by one was almost a surprise. Having said that, the driver is docked two points as by the looks of it, he took too much out of the tires and just did not have the speed of the frontrunners. A podium might have been possible for Carlos if it wasn't for the late race safety car but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

By Charanjot Singh Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share F1 Grand Prix of The Netherlands The 2022 F1 Italian GP saw Max Verstappen put together another masterclass. Much to the dismay of Tifosi, Verstappen beat home hero Charles Leclerc. Over the Italian GP weekend, we have seen some fantastic performances from quite a few drivers up and down the grid. At the same time, for others, it was not the most memorable weekend by any means. So how did these drivers perform during the 2022 F1 Italian GP weekend? Find out in our driver ratings!2022 F1 Italian GP Rating the drivers
Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton Started 19th Finished 5th
Rating 7 5
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team@MercedesAMGF1What an atmosphere. Thank you. 5491388What an atmosphere. Thank you. https://t.co/64Klk0oXsp It was a non-descript race for the 7-time champion who had somewhat conceded his fate on Saturday already. Hamilton was more precise and calculated than Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez in the way he made his way through the field due to which he lost a bit of time. In the end, a P5 result in the third fastest car is par for the course.George Russell Started 2nd Finished 3rd
Rating 7
On the surface, Russell has more points than Lewis Hamilton, but if we take a closer look, Hamilton has been the faster driver this season. Finishing third was the best that Russell could achieve and he did that quite easily.Red Bull
Max Verstappen Started 7th Finished 1st
Rating 10

Sergio Perez Started 13th Finished 6th
Rating 7
Perez built things up beautifully during the F1 Italian GP weekend and certainly had the speed to score more. The strategy left a lot to be desired as the early pitstop did not make much sense in hindsight. Overall, a not-so-momentous weekend for the Mexican as he falls behind in the battle for P2 in the championship.Ferrari
Charles Leclerc Started 1st Finished 2nd
Rating 9 5
Charles Leclerc did nothing wrong at the F1 Italian GP. His qualifying lack was sensational once again. His drive on Sunday was peerless and there was no fault in the strategy either. Having said that, Max Verstappen and Red Bull were just faster. He could not have done anything else and that was perhaps why he was a little dejected at the result.Carlos Sainz Started 18th Finished 4th

McLaren
Lando Norris Started 3rd Finished 7th
Rating 8.5
Lando Norris does not get the credit he deserves for the way he has single-handedly carried McLaren in the championship this season. On the surface, the F1 Italian GP is another instance where Norris extracted every last drop of performance from the car and made it work. It was another excellent driving display from the young Brit.Daniel Ricciardo Started 4th Finished DNF
Rating 8
You could hear the collective groans all over the world when Daniel Ricciardo's engine cried enough and he had to retire. Regardless, this was the race where the Australian made everyone remember how fantastic he is behind the wheel of an F1 car.Alpine
Fernando Alonso Started 6th Finished DNF
Rating 7
It was not a good outing for the Spaniard. The F1 Italian GP weekend featured a rather average showing in qualifying as he got his Q3 lap deleted. The race featured him getting overtaken twice by Norris and then finally suffering a DNF. It was not the most memorable race for the Spaniard.Esteban Ocon Started 14th Finished 11th
Rating 6 5
Ocon has been a step behind Alonso since the summer break. This was another race where the French driver was arguably a tenth down on his teammate. It's not the best thing if you're looking to establish yourself as a 'Team Leader'.AlphaTauri
Pierre Gasly Started 5th Finished 8th

Yuki Tsunoda Started 20th Finished 14th
Rating 6 5
Tsunoda has speed, he has racecraft and he has the ability to do great things in F1. What he lacks is maturity. The Japanese youngster might need to step up soon in his F1 career. It cannot go on like this.Aston Martin
Sebastian Vettel Started 11th Finished DNF
Rating 6
A weekend to forget for the German where he was once again a victim of his teammate's overaggressive defending. The German could have maybe nicked a point or two but it's hard to say anything as he retired early in the race.Lance Stroll Started 12th Finished DNF
Rating 5 5
If Fernando Alonso thought that he would be leaving the punchy teammate behind at Alpine then the 2023 season has something else coming for him. Lance Stroll's aggression while defending against Sebastian Vettel did not make sense early in the race and with the team not intervening, it shows the state of affairs within the team. Stroll jumped his teammate and held him up early in the race before he faded away after the first stop. It was not the best display by the Canadian by any means.Alfa Romeo
Valtteri Bottas Started 15th Finished 13th
Rating 6 5
Bottas was one of the drivers that might have been miffed by the late race safety car. He was making ground on the DRS train that started with Ricciardo but the safety car ended his charge. Having said that, in what's starting to become a theme, it was once again his teammate that was arguably more impressive this weekend.Guanyu Zhou Started 9th Finished 10th
