Following the Italian Grand Prix, seven races remain in the 2018 Formula 1 season. How do the sport’s 10 teams stack up against one another?
After Scuderia Ferrari became the first team to secure one, two, three and four victories in the 21-race Formula 1 season, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport became the first team to secure five victories with Lewis Hamilton’s win the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Ferrari responded by securing their fifth victory of the season, Sebastian Vettel’s win in the Belgian Grand Prix, and many people believed that they would earn their sixth victory of 2018 in the season’s 14th race, the Italian Grand Prix, which is their home race.
However, it was Hamilton, who has accounted for all of Mercedes’ victories so far this season, delivering Mercedes their sixth victory of the season as opposed to Vettel, who has accounted for all of Ferrari’s victories so far in 2018, delivering Ferrari theirs.

Hamilton won 53-lap race around the 11-turn, 3.600-mile (5.793-kilometer) Autodromo Nazionale Monza road course in Monza, Italy after starting in third place, as Ferrari teammates Kimi Raikkonen and Vettel secured the front row starting positions in qualifying.
However, Vettel spun out on the first lap of the race in an attempt to prevent Hamilton from passing him, and Mercedes utilized a successful pit strategy involving Valtteri Bottas slowing down Raikkonen, allowing Hamilton to reel him in before ultimately making the race-winning pass with nine laps remaining.
