Sergio Perez – 7/10Like Felipe Massa, Sergio Perez’s effort in the Indian capital went unnoticed in the heap of the moment. The Mexican who has been repeatedly criticized for his performance this year actually equalled McLaren’s best finish of the season – fifth place – set by Jenson Button at the Chinese Grand Prix six months ago. He was extremely delighted with ”a clean race without any bad luck.”Sergio Perez started the race from ninth and gained a place over Fernando Alonso on the very first lap. He then stayed out until lap 28 for a fresh set of option tyres, having started the race on medium tyres. A short middle stint left him down in 10th place before he recovered up to seventh. He then put on his overtaking outmaneuver of the season, albeit using DRS, passing two world champions Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen in a single moveto leapfrog into fifth place.
