Sergio Perez - 8th place, 4 points - 7.5/10

A frustrating race for Perez, but a good recovery limited the potential damage to Williams in the constructors' championship. A brake duct problem restricted him to 11th in qualifying but Perez benefitted from his team-mate Hulkenberg and Bottas colliding at Turn 1 to gain a few positions. Defending into the Turn 11 hairpin, Perez was then hit by Kvyat and spun - with the Toro Rosso driver complaining Perez moved under braking - leaving him 17th at the end of the opening lap. Recovered quickly to run 12th by lap eight and good strategy continued his progress into the points despite a damaged floor.
