The McLaren drivers claimed from unpromising starting positions of 14th and 19th to claim the team’s best finishing positions of the year. Jenson Button took fourth place and Sergio Perez claimed sixth.

Both made good starts, gaining three places each, and continued their progress in the first stint with a series of passes. Perez passes Jean-Eric Vergne, Adrian Sutil, Esteban Gutierrez and Valtteri Bottas so that by lap 13 he and Button were both inside the top ten.

Perez’s second pit stop was the second-fastest of the race and left him close to Nico Rosberg at the end. But he wasn’t able to attack the Mercedes: “I had to save fuel in the final laps, which meant I couldn’t really attack Nico as hard as I’d otherwise have been able to.”

The McLaren pair also benefited from the drive-through penalties handed to Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton, who been disputing fourth place. Hamilton had been catching Fernando Alonso before colliding with Valtteri Bottas, picking up a puncture, before the penalty dealt his chances another blow.

    Another very strong performance from di Resta to finish off the season. Coming from 17th at the end of lap 1 to within a second of the points, passing his teammate on the way. It feels strange that Sutil will have a race seat next year while di Resta — who has very soundly outperformed him this year, and has so much more still to give the sport — won’t. But I wish Adrian all the best.

    Well Perez and Button spent pretty much the entire season very evenly matched pace-wise. I think much as it was a shame Kobayashi fell out of F1 this season while Perez moved to McLaren, it would be unfortunate if Perez is left without a seat while Button maintains his place at a top team. I think on balance Button is the better driver because of his racing skills, but if a team is looking for a driver with that known solid pace, Perez could be a good pick.

    I do think McLaren made the right choice though, I said before the season started that having two drivers with such similar styles would be a bad thing for them, and so it has proven. I haven’t seen any of Magnussen’s races so cant judge him until next year, but they need a charger who will get the maximum out of the car, at least occasionally.

    Another almost Grand Chelem for Vettel. I didn’t think at the time of the race that he was leading at the end of lap 1.
