9/10 – Sergio Pérez
The Mexican certainly benefited from the misfortunes of his bulky teammate in qualifying to sign a pole position promised to Max Verstappen, but he did the job! Qualified on pole for the 2nd year in a row in Jeddah, Pérez was initially surprised by Fernando Alonso at the start, before calmly returning to his property even before the application of the driver's first penalty Aston Martin. By the time Verstappen moved up to 2nd, Checo had a 5-second lead. A gap that he will manage until the end. Pérez, however, let slip the bonus point for the best lap in the race which could have allowed him to take control of the Drivers' championship. He consoles himself with a 5th career victory and is definitely very comfortable on city tracks.
