F1, Belgium GP 2019: Driver Ratings 

#1 Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton secured yet another podium position this season

Lewis Hamilton - P2

Lewis Hamilton looked ready to capitalize on a poor start by Sebastian Vettel but had to concede second place when the Ferrari drive came back at him. He then mostly kept the German within sights, waiting for an opportunity to pounce, until Vettel went into the pits.

The Briton lost out a second to his immediate rivals in the pits, something that could have come in handy during the later stages of the race. A good strategy helped Hamilton secure a second place on the podium and there wasn’t much more he could have done.

Driver Rating – 7/10

Valtteri Bottas - P3

Valtteri Bottas had a relatively quiet race for the most part. The Mercedes driver never truly posed a threat or came under attack from another driver. A one-stop strategy turned out the way to go for Bottas, as he effortlessly overtook a, by then, limping Sebastian Vettel. The podium place is surely one of his easier acquired ones.

Driver Rating – 5/10
