Formula 1 concludes the month with the Belgian GP. At the Formula 1 University there is no lack of entertainment, even though the winner is always him: Max Verstappen. The Dutchman goes on holiday winning all four events in July. Behind him is his teammate Sergio Perez and the Ferrari by Charles Leclerc. Let's discover the top ten report cards together.
Belgian GP, the report cards: the podium
Max Verstappen
Like every Sunday, we are always here. This time, however, unlike the other GPs, he had to work a little more having started in sixth position. Despite this, after seventeen laps, he regained control of the race undisturbed. Vote 10.
Sergio Perez
Since Ricciardo arrived, there are undoubtedly signs of improvement. Podium in Hungary and second place in Spa. After a Sprint to forget, in which she was forced to retire, finally returns to being immediately behind her teammate. Rating 8.
Charles Leclerc
A good Ferrari was seen at Spa. The question mark, after having achieved an excellent result in qualifying, was related to the race pace. The Monegasque's tire management was very positive and going on holiday with a podium is certainly a good result. Now, however, consistency is needed. Rating 8.5.
Off the podium
Lewis Hamilton
Perhaps something more was expected from the Mercedes driver. He continues to be, quite clearly, ahead of his teammate - who struggled a lot in qualifying this weekend. He tries to reach the podium, but he never really puts Leclerc in difficulty. Rating 7.5.
Fernando Alonso
The start of the weekend, combined with the Sprint, did not promise anything good at all. In reality, thanks also to the excellent strategy implemented by the team, it achieved a fifth place which brings back a boost of energy that the environment had been missing for quite a while. Rating 8.
George Russell
He made a good comeback, yet another one, one might say. He struggles a lot during the weekend, particularly in the Sprint Shootout, but in the race he always responds – also implementing an excellent strategy. Rating 7.
Lando Norris
Today the car didn't run. Piastri was forced to retire due to an accident with Sainz in Turn 1, while Norris struggled a lot to keep up with the others. He certainly wasn't asked for a podium - which would have been the third in a row - but today the MCL60 had much less than the others. Rating 7.
Esteban Ocon
Yesterday Gasly, today Ocon. At Alpine, in a weekend full of changes, important points arrive and above all they further certify the goodness of a driver - who started fourteenth today - who is quite underrated. Rating 9.
Lance stroll
As always, he doesn't give anything exceptional, especially if we compare his performance with that of his teammate. He still gets back into the points, which is fundamental for the team. Rating 6.
Yuki tsunoda
Wonderfully Yuki. After a difficult Sprint yesterday, he finished a perfect race, also executing an excellent strategy. It's a point that is worth gold for her morale. Rating 9.
