Sergio Perez (P4, 18 pts): 7.5/10
Third place on the Sprint grid and P3 at the end of the 19-lap race, fourth place on the GP grid which delivered fourth at the end of 57 laps, you can't say that Sergio Perez wasn't consistent this weekend. Max Verstappen was having handling problems of his own and never looked his usually comfortable, dominant self so you have to assume that Perez was feeling similarly vexed in Miami. His big moment came at the start of Sunday's race when he dive-bombed into the first corner and was inches away from taking out his team mate. Miraculously he didn't hit anyone and was able to slot back in to fifth, but he needed an earlier than planned pit stop for fresh tyres and was left trailing behind Carlos Sainz. He picked up two positions thanks to Sainz tagging Oscar Piastri's front wing which saw Piastri pit and Sainz get a penalty. But it's hard to argue that Perez himself really did very much to deserve the promotion.
Charles Leclerc (P3, 22 pts): 9/10
The weekend got off to a terrible start for Charles Leclerc when he spun early in the one and only practice session, leaving him lacking any meaningful running going into Sprint qualifying. He did really well to still put the Ferrari on the front row alongside Max Verstappen, and he got the better start of the pair. It forced Verstappen to fend him off in order to keep the lead and go on to victory, with Leclerc managing the situation to keep P2. The line-up was the same for the start of the Grand Prix but this time Leclerc had a bad launch and ended up losing places, although Sergio Perez' banzai moment into the first corner helped him snatch them back. But he didn't have the pace to resist Oscar Piastri on lap 4, and after the safety car it was another McLaren in the form of Lando Norris who was in the lead. Leclerc did his best to pass Verstappen at the restart but couldn't do it, although he did keep his place on the podium to the finish.
