Top Four Drivers of the United States Grand Prix


4. Jules Bianchi
 

He hasn’t been here for a while, but what a way to come back. For starters, he beat the Caterhams, which is unbelievably important for the Marussia team as they are one race away from securing an extra 3 million dollars from a potential 10th place finish. Talk about the real value of a driver. Keep in mind that the Marussia is still vastly inferior to the Caterhams, so its similar to when Alonso was beating the Red Bulls at certain points last season. Also, he held off the charging Gutierrez for three laps, before he tore through the midfield reaching a maximum position of 5th. Not bad Jules, not bad at all.

3. Esteban Gutierrez



I would have put him at first if he hadn’t collided with Maldonado at the end. Yes, I know it was Maldonado that he was facing, but either way it was more of a racing incident than a one-sided crash. However, that just comes down to him being a rookie with little experience who overdid it when trying to overtake on the last lap, costing his team.

2. Valteri Bottas



Well, he basically went completely under the radar for all the races between Canada and now (10 races). But when he came back, he came back with a bang, quadrupling the amount of point Williams had previously obtained. Pretty much humiliating a certain teammate who decided it was more important to take out Sutil and Gutierrez than to race.

1.Sergio Perez



This one definitely had to go to him, he 100% deserves this win. As a driver, there will always be those few races that you cherish more than all the others, your trophies on your figurative shelf. This one will definitely go in his collection. Home GP, possibly one of the last races of his extremely short Formula One career, he drives beautifully to fight for a seat in F1. Was it enough? Probably not, but this was his shining moment at McLaren and he showed his inner fire on Sunday.
