Sergio Pérez

Cadillac · P21 · 0 p

The Cadillac car currently sits in the back half (3.22 s/lap off the fastest car in race pace). Pérez is stronger on Sunday than on Saturday: race pace (3.23 s/lap) is closer to the front than qualifying pace (3.60). The trend is upward: over the last five races the race-pace gap has shrunk by 0.26 s/lap. Tyre management is a weakness: Pérez's stints lose more pace per lap than the field on the same compound.

Pérez has 0 points to Bottas's 0. In qualifying the intra-team qualifying battle stands 8–8, by 0.031 s/lap on average in Bottas's favour. In races where both were classified: 4–1 to Pérez, and in race pace Pérez is 0.301 s/lap quicker over the season. Current form (weighted to recent races) gives Pérez an edge of 0.65 s/lap. Tyre management is worse than the team-mate's (+0.022 against +0.009 s/lap stint slope versus the field).
