Sergio Pérez, Cadillac (P20/DNF) – 7/10
Checo actually put together a thoroughly respectable Sunday in an underpowered Cadillac. He kept his nose clean during the opening-lap scrap, moved up, and held a strong pace matching the Williams ahead while comfortably leading his teammate. Mechanical failure cruelly cut his race short on lap 33, but he couldn't have squeezed much more out of the car.
Carlos Sainz, Williams (P19/DNF) – 3/10
A miserable home appearance at the Madring for Sainz. He got a great jump off the line, only to chop into Yuki Tsunoda, thrashing his own floor and crippling his race pace by a second a lap. To make matters worse, he picked up a penalty for tangling with Alonso, capping off a sloppy afternoon where he created his own downfall.
