Coming immediately after the controversial and exciting race in Belgium, Formula One's 2014 Italian Grand Prix had a lot to live up to.

It certainly delivered, with a host of drivers putting in excellent performances.

Lewis Hamilton was on top all weekend. After pressuring team-mate Nico Rosberg into an error, the Brit recorded a hat-trick of pole, race win and fastest lap.

Behind the two Mercedes, the racing was no less dramatic. Jenson Button and Sergio Perez had a great battle over what would become seventh and eighth, while Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas' recoveries put them in the running for driver of the day.

Daniil Kvyat also came from the back, but his bid for a Top 10 finish was ended by a brake failure.

Nico Rosberg also had a braking issue. His error gifted the win to Hamilton and deprived fans of what might have been a great battle for the lead.

Joining him on the disappointed step was Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard suffered his first non-finish of the year, ending his 100 percent points-scoring record.

 

Note on Power Rankings

These rankings should not be confused with the actual championship table.

Rather than looking solely at points, they also take into account race results, qualifying, overall performance of each driver and how they stack up against their team-mates. The relative pace of each driver's car is factored in.

Only the performance at the last six races is considered.

The previous rankings, created after the Belgian Grand Prix, are here. All position changes are relative to the positions in that article.
