I quite enjoyed thinking about this one, because so many teams excluded themselves from the possibility of winning it.
Mercedes: Of course they dominated as usual, but the indecision over Hamilton's strategy was painful, and they ended up choosing the worst possible option.
Ferrari: The Q1 mis-judgement was appalling. And it's not as if they haven't done it before.
Williams: Off the pace, and then the unsafe release of Bottas. Pat Symonds was honest enough to admit it, but that doesn't get them off.
Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Sauber: No better than run-of-the-mill.
Lotus: They were unlucky with Maldonado's accident (now there's a change!) and Fat John put in a good-ish performance, but none of that is enough.
McLaren: Better than most races in 2015, but that's not saying much.
Marussia: Still at the back.
Force India performed a little above their normal pace, so let's give it to them.
