Sergio Perez - 13th place - 6.5/10

Perez’s race is an example of how small problems can have knock-on effects to the final result. A poor start lost him ground and he got stuck behind Fernando Alonso, and later was behind Alonso’s team-mate which hurt his strategy. A one-stopper was not helped by the red flag which negated the advantage it would have provided, and then being stuck in traffic for so long resulted in overheating brakes.
