Force India: Judging on the above statistics, the second closest fight of 2016 came at Force India. Sergio Perez had the upper hand over Nico Hulkenberg in terms of points – and indeed also spent more time in the top 10, and just about had the edge on Sundays. He also had a significant reward in the form of two podiums, taking his career total to seven – while Hulkenberg’s wait for a maiden rostrum continues. The German did have a clear advantage on Saturdays this year, however, edging Perez on 12 occasions – including a sensational front-row start in Austria. A works drive with Renault awaits – while Perez stays with the team for another year. © formula1.com
