Pérez experienced a difficult start to the season for the first four races due to an uncompetitive VJM09, but scored points with a ninth place in Russia.
Upgrades were introduced in Barcelona with a seventh-place finish indicating an improvement in the team's form.

In Monaco, Pérez scored his sixth (and Force India's fourth) podium finish in wet and changing conditions, and moved to ninth in the Drivers' Championship standings.
Tyre management played a significant role but in contrast to previous occasions he pitted as many times as Ferrari and Red Bull, at times catching up with the front runners and managing to hold Sebastian Vettel in fourth at a comfortable distance.

In the European Grand Prix in Baku Pérez once again finished third, recovering from a gearbox change penalty as a result of a crash during free practice, having been fast enough to qualify on the front row.
Despite having to start from seventh on the grid he made his way up to fourth before passing Kimi Räikkönen on the last lap of the race for third, making it his second podium in three races.
