McLaren. 13th and 14th from the back of the grid, with a rubber band for an engine, PU, whatever you want to call it, is pretty impressive.

I would like to say McLaren, but really there is no reason. I am a fan of the team, but... why reward for effectively just finishing. Granted a number of other teams had trouble getting both cars to the finish.

As boring as it might be, my vote is to Mercedes.

if you find that inpressive than Toro Rosso did better with Max Verstappen going from P18 to P8 with an engine that is not that much better than the Honda.

13th and 14th means they only beat Marussia. Everyone else DNF'd.

Lotus-Mercedes. A big step up, they qualified well and managed to bring home a decent result, irrespective of who else had to fall out to achieve it, they were there to take the podium. A great result, even if it was for one car only.

Mercedes. It may be boring, but it couldn't be any other.

The McLaren's were impressive from the start to halfway to the first corner. After that, it was situation normal. Obviously JB's problem masked the real performance (I use the word in the broadest sense) but Alonso's pace was as dismal as ever (not that I'm blaming him) so it seems that Arai San's brave words were no more than brave words. Honda have seriously under-estimated the task and their concept of using all in-house engineers is just plain foolish.

Lotus.

Even if their season was "worst" because of financial issues, they could do everything as possible with the Frenchman in this race. From Spa '12 to three years later, it's been a redemption for RoGro.

It also means they beat those car/drivers that DNF'd; credit to them for not following suit.

Mercedes. A bit of a no-brainer. They were 40 seconds clear of the other car in third place, on a 40 odd lap race.

Honourable mention to Lotus.

I think Ferrari messed up here. Both in qualifying and the race. They perhaps, could have challenged the Mercedes a bit more.

However, my absolute wallies of the race are Williams - for that tyre pitstop muck-up with Bottas! Come on. You were once a great team. That's not what we expect from them.

Mercedes. In any other team, Rosberg would've been nowhere, but he ended up bringing home a 1-2 by 40s or so. That's dominant.

Mercedes is the no-brainer.

So I'm giving it to Lotus. Cracking job by Grosjean.
