Sergio Perez - 6th place, 8 points - 7.5/10

Was disappointed to finish behind Bottas but Perez’s chances of beating the Williams were hampered by the early VSC periods. Was running third at the end of the first lap behind Hamilton and Ricciardo, and on soft tyres opted not to defend too heavily against the likes of Verstappen and Raikkonen after the first VSC. The second time the race was neutralised, however, saw Perez pit and rejoin in ninth place, while Bottas was able to run longer on the mediums and keep the Force India at bay late on.
