Sergio Perez - 5th place, 10 points - 9/10
While the Force India has been a strong car in the latter half of the season, Perez really has come alive in it at certain stages and put all of that together this weekend. He was quick throughout every session, ending FP2 third fastest, and was provisionally starting from third before Raikkonen pipped him at the end of Q3. Made a good start but was somewhat cautious when it looked like he could get at least Raikkonen in to Turn 1, but from there on drove the car right to its limit. Ricciardo offered a threat but Perez had enough pace to pull away at the crucial times, bouncing back impressively from a tough weekend in Brazil.
