The Formula 1 maturity certificate: Monza

SEBASTIAN VETTEL: The Ferrari star blamed Lewis Hamilton for the fatal crash at the start, but race stewards treated the incident as a normal racing accident. Some experts even blamed the German alone. The fact is that Vettel has destroyed his race with this action and is a big loser. What was supposed to be the final turning point in the fight for the World Cup instead ended in a debacle. In the fight for the title with someone like Lewis Hamilton, Vettel simply cannot afford such mistakes.

LEWIS HAMILTON: His Mercedes isn't the fastest car at the moment, the fans in Italy were against him - but the Brit wasn't interested in any of that. On the contrary. It seems like Hamilton only really thrives when things go against him. If the 33-year-old continues in the same form at Monza, his fifth world title can hardly be taken away from him.

MERCEDES: The weekend in the country of their arch rivals couldn't have gone better for the Silver Arrows. Hamilton pulls off a coup in the World Cup fight, and it is already known that Mercedes has saved the German Grand Prix next season with a few million. You can hardly do more advertising on your own behalf.

TIFOSI: No driver in the field didn't rave about this special atmosphere in Monza. The Italian fans turn their race into a spectacle every year. Monza is pure folk festival. Unfortunately, the whistles and boos against Hamilton will be remembered just because he did a good job. The Tifosi have not done themselves any favors with this.

KIMI RAIKKONEN: It was also a used weekend for the odd Finn. Starting from pole, the old master ultimately had no chance of winning his first win since 2013 against Hamilton. And then it was announced that Raikkonen would probably lose his cockpit at Ferrari. The up-and-coming talent Charles Leclerc (Sauber) is supposed to replace the last Ferrari world champion.
