We rate the drivers after the Italian GP
Another race, another commanding victory for Sebastian Vettel, who was unstoppable at Monza despite the brilliance of Fernando Alonso. EDD STRAW rates the Italian GP field
Red Bull-Renault RB9
Start: 1st
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 1 stop (medium/hard)
Rating: 9
The Vettel/Red Bull combination was imperious all weekend, so it was no surprise to see him control the race while appearing not to break sweat. While some criticise him for having the best car, he did not put a foot wrong on a weekend when several other drivers did just that in machinery capable of fighting for strong results.
