Hamilton goes all-in, Vettel doesn't seem to want to win anymore: the report cards from the 2018 Monza GP

F1 | Italian GP report cards - the red hell turns into a "hell FOR the Red" and Lewis takes everything, even the boos

Lewis Hamilton takes everything: victory, parade formation with Bottas, cup and champagne, boos. In the Red Hell Grand Prix, where the proclamations for Ferrari began a week ago, the Englishman takes advantage, thanks, and takes 25 easy points in an Italian GP (rated 9 overall, the heat was 1000 !) where he hadn't dominated and the podium would already have been an excellent result. Vettel doesn't seem to want to win anymore.

Hamilton 10: whatever anyone wants to say, he did everything perfectly: overtaking Vettel, overtaking Raikkonen, pit stops, teamwork with Bottas, until the victory. And the whistles are an addition. He extends his lead in the championship in one of the most difficult weekends, on paper, where the red hell had already been unleashed last week.

Raikkonen 9: yesterday's pole position has already received well-deserved applause, with every record broken and broken, today the start was clean and the two defenses on Vettel as well. He had to give up with tires that almost exploded and that's fine, considering that there are already rumors of his very certain farewell.

Bottas 7: what a shame and what a fall in style! The podium is all there, but publicly admitting in front of a microphone that "my goal was to stop Raikkonen" is part of the 5 things never to say that are taught in karting days. He deserves 0, but in the end third place raises his average. Too good!

Vettel 5: it doesn't even deserve a passing grade, because if you have 100 thousand people screaming your name since Wednesday morning, and the flags, the banners, and the tears, and you're playing for the world championship and you're behind your opponent and you have points to recover and start from the front on the grid... well, then you can't do that. You're about to be overtaken, on the first lap, you're a four-time world champion and there's a whole race to catch up. So no, the accident is your fault, it seems he doesn't want to win this title. And mistakes matter.

Verstappen 7: he had a good race considering the conditions of the weekend. Fair penalty? However, he didn't accept it and gave her a hard time until the end.

Grosjean 8: excellent race and brings Haas to fourth place, what to add?

Ocon 8 and a half: since they took away his seat he flies more than ever.

Perez 7 and a half: good race, nothing to add.

Sainz 7: the weekend as a 24 year old starts in the best way, excellent points and one more reason to celebrate!

Stroll, Sirotkin, Leclerc, Vandoorne score 6 and a half: races ok, nothing more and nothing less. Departed and arrived, everything was normal. And what a surprise then.

Hulkenberg 5: after the Spa explosion in Monza we expected a good "revenge" but the comeback did not go very well...

Gasly 5: limbo between the best and the worst.

Ericsson, Magnussen 5: the first thanks that he is still safe and sound and whole, the second does not replicate his teammate's good performance

Ricciardo SV I don't want to make any more fuss than what he has already suffered since Friday... bad luck doesn't abandon him at all!

Alonso 6: It breaks my heart to see him there, he deserves more but the mistake in qualifying lowers the average

Hartley SV
