However, this feature for the F1 Hungarian GP is for the drivers, not the teams. We've seen some fantastic performances from quite a few drivers this weekend. On the other hand, there are some that would have left for the summer break not feeling so great about the race. Max Verstappen, for instance, will be giggling from ear to ear after picking up his eighth win of the season. Certain drivers, on the other hand, will not be as happy. Who are those? Well, let's find out in the driver ratings for the 2022 F1 Hungarian GP. 2022 F1 Hungarian GP Rating the drivers Mercedes Lewis Hamilton Started 7th Finished 2nd Rating 9 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team@MercedesAMGF1YESSS LEWIS!!!! What a drive!!! P2 in Hungary!!! 8230110645YESSS LEWIS!!!! What a drive!!! P2 in Hungary!!! https://t.co/dPvbqTcZbZ We're not too far away from the time when Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen fought it out for race wins. The Mercedes is becoming all the faster and so is Lewis Hamilton. He's arguably been the most consistent scorer on the grid since his podium in Canada and the F1 Hungarian GP was no different. Starting the race in P7, Hamilton showed spectacular tyre management and made the most of the chances given to him. Was a race win possible if his qualifying had not been compromised? We're edging closer to a Lewis Hamilton win and it might come sooner rather than later. George Russell Started 1st Finished 3rd Rating 8 5 That champagne would not taste as sweet today as it probably would have after clinching pole position for the F1 Hungarian GP. George Russell was certainly very quick on a single lap. However, there is one weakness that is starting to get exposed when he's going toe-to-toe with Hamilton. The young Brit eats up his tyres faster than his teammate, which is where the veteran appeared to have the edge in the F1 Hungarian GP. Russell is good, but he's not the complete package yet. Red Bull Max Verstappen Started 10th Finished 1st Rating 9.5 Max Verstappen@Max33VerstappenWow what a day! It was a crazy race, but we stayed calm and won! This feels absolutely amazing The car was great and today we adapted to the circumstances really good, so our strategy worked out perfectly.

This feels absolutely amazing The car was great and today we adapted to the circumstances really good, so our strategy worked out perfectly. Mega job team @redbullracing #HungarianGP https://t.co/YwYTty5QXW It almost feels offensive to take away half a point from Max Verstappen as the win in the F1 Hungarian GP will go down as one of the best of his career. Throughout the race, Verstappen kept his cool and didn't panic at any point. Ultimately, everything fell into place as he ended up climbing his way through the field to win the Grand Prix. Sergio Perez Started 11th Finished 5th Rating 6 The F1 Hungarian GP was an overall poor weekend for Sergio Perez. He should not have been in the position he found himself in Q2. Even during the race, after following Verstappen for a few laps, Perez fell back into anonymity. While his teammate went on to win the race, he was P5. It's just not the kind of result you'd expect from the Mexican. Ferrari Charles Leclerc Started 3rd Finished 6th Rating 9 Charles Leclerc@Charles_LeclercTough one today. Not the race we wanted before the holidays but it’s now time to recharge the batteries and come back stronger in a month.827713706Tough one today. Not the race we wanted before the holidays but it’s now time to recharge the batteries and come back stronger in a month. https://t.co/zVCncdP3e7 Once Charles Leclerc was able to make his way past George Russell, it almost felt as if Ferrari could not get it wrong from that point on. Leclerc was leading the race comfortably and had a clear margin over the chasing pack. It was then that Ferrari pulled the masterstroke of putting the driver on hard tires and completely destroying his race. It appears as if Ferrari are simply not capable of performing at a high level and it's starting to cost the driver an elusive chance at the title. Carlos Sainz Started 2nd Finished 4th Rating 8 It was a solid weekend from the Spaniard. Sainz is slowly but steadily starting to show his value as a consistent performer. However, he still lacks the pace that Charles Leclerc has frequently shown. McLaren Lando Norris Started 4th Finished 7th Rating 8 5 Lando Norris is arguably performing similarly to last season. Since McLaren are not up to the mark this season, his performances aren't as noteworthy though. Having said that, it was another stellar qualifying for the young driver and a strong race where he was able to fend off the Alpines and claim the best of the rest tag. Daniel Ricciardo Started 9th Finished 15th Rating 6 There was a point in the race when Daniel Ricciardo was lapping at more or less the same speed as Lando Norris. However, once the pitstops were out of the way, the Australian found it hard to maintain speed. The incident with Lance Stroll was not ideal, and neither was Ricciardo's finishing position. Alpine Fernando Alonso Started 6th Finished 8th Rating 7 5 BWT Alpine F1 Team@AlpineF1TeamFernando’s thoughts on his P8 finish and double points for the team. #HungarianGP 83743Fernando’s thoughts on his P8 finish and double points for the team. #HungarianGP https://t.co/z1eFOkMVt9 Watching Fernando Alonso fight it out against his teammate in the F1 Hungarian GP and ultimately overtaking him is not talked about enough. Alonso has been the surprise of the season so far and the F1 Hungarian GP was no exception. Sure, it's not the vintage Alonso performance we've grown accustomed to. Ocon pipped him in qualifying and there was that slight error when Max Verstappen jumped him in the race. Nonetheless, the Spaniard jumped his teammate and was the lead Alpine when the checkered flag fell. Esteban Ocon Started 5th Finished 9th Rating 7 Ocon is slightly under pressure at Alpine and it showed at the F1 Hungarian GP. The qualifying lap from Ocon was spectacular, to say the least, but the race was a bit tentative. The defense against his teammate was marginal and, in the end, the Frenchman conceded his position to Alonso anyway. There's certainly room for growth for Ocon. AlphaTauri Pierre Gasly Started Pitlane Finished 12th Rating 5 Gasly's raceday presence is becoming increasingly anonymous with the AlphaTauri becoming increasingly uncompetitive. The French driver had an average outing at the F1 Hungarian GP and will be hoping for the tides to turn soon. Yuki Tsunoda Started 16th Finished 18th Rating 4 The F1 Hungarian GP saw the return of 'Spinoda' as the young Japanese driver once again had an uncharacteristic spin that more or less ended his race. It's not looking good for the AlphaTauri boys right now. Aston Martin Sebastian Vettel Started 18th Finished 10th Rating 8 Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team@AstonMartinF1A point in the bag and plenty of positives from today’s race.Let’s keep building that momentum. #F1 #HungarianGP2019100A point in the bag and plenty of positives from today’s race.Let’s keep building that momentum. #F1 #HungarianGP https://t.co/OGh4QuFboV It was astounding to see Sebastian Vettel make his way through the field from 18th to 10th and not get much of a mention in the live broadcast. Vettel's charge through the backfield from 18th was another impressive drive from the German. Maybe postpone retirement for another year, Seb? Lance Stroll Started 14th Finished 11th Rating 7 It was an impressive drive from the Canadian at the F1 Hungarian GP, which showed that Aston Martin have a good race pace. But when your teammate starts four places behind you and beats you, it's gotta hurt. Alfa Romeo Valtteri Bottas Started 8th Finished DNF Rating 6 After a strong qualifying, that was not the kind of result Bottas would have expected. The Finnish driver just didn't have the pace to score points in the F1 Hungarian GP. Additionally, the late-race DNF was the final icing on the cake for a race that exposed how far Alfa Romeo have fallen in terms of performance. Guanyu Zhou Started 12th Finished 13th Rating 5 Zhou had a more or less similar F1 Hungarian GP weekend compared to his teammate. The only difference being that the Chinese driver was a couple of tenths down on what Bottas was able to pull out of the car. Haas F1 Kevin Magnussen Started 13th Finished 15th Rating 6 Haas F1 Team@HaasF1TeamAn early enforced front wing change ruined K-Mag's hopes of breaking into the points in Budapest this afternoon.#HaasF1 #HungarianGP62812An early enforced front wing change ruined K-Mag's hopes of breaking into the points in Budapest this afternoon.#HaasF1 #HungarianGP https://t.co/T0HcWyGicn A race to forget for Kevin Magnussen as a good start early in the outing did help him run inside the top 10 for some time. Once again, however, a damaged front wing forced an early stop, which was further made worse by the switch to hard tyres. Haas lacked speed and the Danish driver needs to keep his nose clean on the first lap of the upcoming races. Mick Schumacher Started 15th Finished 14th Rating 6 Mick Schumacher's race was more or less similar to his teammate's. The only difference being that the German was comparatively slower than Magnussen (probably because of the upgrade package) and had a cleaner race. Williams Alex Albon Started 13th Finished 13th Rating 6 Alex Albon is going through what could be termed the 'George Russell Syndrome'. It's hard to judge how good or bad he is, performing with Latifi as his teammate and Williams as his machinery. Williams was not as competitive in the slow-medium sections and left Albon closer to the back of the field at the F1 Hungarian GP. Nicholas Latifi Started 20th Finished 18th Rating 5 It's more of the same for Nicholas Latifi at the F1 Hungarian GP. The Canadian driver started the race at the back and finished close to it as well. Topping the timesheets in the F1 Hungarian GP FP3 was a change though.
