Sergio Pérez (eighth, 4 pts) : 7/10
For once Checo was out qualified by his young team mate. Is this what gave him added motivation at the start? Red Bull wasn’t the only outfit perhaps overdoing it in the opening corners of the race. In eighth place from the outset, the Mexican was never too far behind Alonso and Sainz, but he could never come within striking distance. But he has nine more points to his credit than at the same time last year.
