5. Sergio Perez - 7.45
The year Sergio Perez really came of age at Force India. He got the better of Hulkenberg last year but this season he was a clear step ahead of his team-mate on occasion. Monaco and Baku were the standout performances as he secured two podiums in three races, the latter an excellent recovery after a crash in qualifying saw his P2 grid position become P7 due to a gearbox change. Slightly struggling at the start of the year, Perez erased the inconsistent performances from this repertoire as the season went on, highlighted by his run of never failing to score points from Germany onwards.
