We rate the drivers after the Belgian GP

Sebastian Vettel won with ease in Belgium, while Fernando Alonso charged from ninth to second to push polesitter Lewis Hamilton onto the podium's final step. EDD STRAW rates the field

Red Bull-Renault RB9
Start: 2nd
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 2 stops (medium/medium/hard)
Rating: 9

It's easy simply to shrug off his drive as that of a man in the best car, which it was. But had Vettel not pulled off that pass for the lead on Hamilton on the run to Les Combes on lap one, it would have made his task a lot less simple, especially as the Red Bull was one of the slower cars in the speed trap at the end of the Kemmel Straight.
