Belgian Grand Prix driver ratings
A peerless performance under pressure earned this week's only 10, while a "dirty" move that wrecked his team's weekend cost another driver dearly.
44 Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes F1 W08
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (ultra-soft/soft/soft)
Rating: 10
Given the way Mercedes approached this race, sacrificing downforce in qualifying for the sake of race pace, Hamilton's pole lap was truly astounding.
On the part of the track he should have struggled through, he was fastest of all. The three-time champion drove a superb race under immense pressure and defended expertly when Vettel attacked at the restart. A true champion's drive.
