Nobody stood out. Finish is a basic representation of the teams basic performance. It's easier to note who had a bad result than who maybe overachieved. So to pick someone... Mercedes for 1-2 finish.

Mercedes. Most other teams, even if they did well, made some mistakes or had one car have a bad race.

Yes, the race was that bad

Has to be Benz - simply streets ahead. Win was one thing but to have the other car 6th and get up to an easy 2nd shows the gap in capability between the teams.

If Manor had better budget, with the personnel and drivers they have, they would be a greater team as they are... Then got my vote as Team of the Race.

Yes, they were exceptional. You don't lead by that margin without being exceptional.

I give it to McLaren. I think what McLaren are doing in development and making there way up the grid under these very restricted conditions is absolutely amazing. Alonso set the fastest race lap, something that hopefully will be easy for them in the championship winning near future. F1 should consider themselves lucky to have a giant like Honda in the championship. Well done for taking on this near impossible challenge in this new era of F1.

This is more an indictment of the current state of F1 than an achievement by Fred.

1:25.340 Fernando Alonso Fastest Race Lap
1:24.346 Kevin Magnussen Slowest Qualifier
1:21.135 Hamilton Pole
1:26.815 107% of pole

Not so impressive when the fastest race lap is 4 seconds off pole and 1 second slower than the slowest qualifying time?

Very good point. Those times reveal so much in a racing series which is meant to be the pinnacle of motor sport.
