Kimi Räikkönen - P16

Kimi Räikkönen was not at his racing best during the weekend in Belgium. At the start, he had his nose ahead of Max Verstappen. As they both stuck to the same racing line, they ended up colliding with each other. The safety car was deployed as a result of the incident and The Iceman was seen driving into the pits for damage assessment, with his Alfa Romeo taking a hit on the right side floor.

The Finnish driver was struggling for most of the Grand Prix, as was evident when Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez performed a double overtake on him. He later went wide and left the door open for the attacking Hülkenberg. After three pit stops, Kimi crossed the line in 16th position.

Driver Rating- 3/10

Antonio Giovinazzi - P18

Antonio Giovinazzi began his race from 18th on the grid and did well to climb up to ninth place. He lost his chance of a points-finish during the penultimate lap when he lost control of the car and crashed at Pouhon.

He classified last, barring the two retirements of Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen. The Italian driver needs to pull up his socks to retain in the sport, especially after having done mostly everything right today.

Driver Rating- 4/10
