Sergio Perez has for long been underrated as a driver in Formula 1. Mostly driving for the midfield teams, the Mexican has often managed to push lackluster cars to podiums.

This year, he has been on a similar mission with Racing Point, and it seems like it has been going as per plan considering how he has outperformed the RP20 consistently.

The experienced driver has bagged 4 Top-5 finishes this season. He missed the podium by one position in Russia and Germany, finishing the race at P4.

Sergio Perez is the only driver other than Lewis Hamilton who has scored a point in every race he appeared in over the course of this season. His best finish has been P4, whereas his worst finish has been a P10 in Belgium and Italy.
