Russian Grand Prix driver ratings

Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Russian Grand Prix - Race Day - Sochi, Russia

Sergio Perez - 3rd place, 15 points: 9/10

A very impressive driver from Perez, who has a habit of producing the standout result for midfield teams. His fifth podium in Formula One was set-up by a “very aggressive” Force India strategy but executed superbly by Perez who was within a lap and a half of finishing third on pure merit. After being passed by Bottas and Raikkonen just before the start of the final lap, fifth would still have been an excellent result but inheriting third once again probably gave him the reward his drive deserved.
