If Perez is indeed replaced, move di Resta, Raikkonen and Grosjean up one place and add Ricciardo to 10th place.

That makes me think, I put Perez in tenth, so if he's replaced, my guess is Button instead.

#Used Double Points

DBTMOTR still needs to be decided...

[TomWazzleshaw]

After much deliberation, Michael Schumacher has been given the DBTMOTR award for spending most of the race trolling around the back of the field many seconds off the pace, which gives DOSBoot an extra two points and moves him to a clear second place.
