Probably Red Bull for getting both cars home in decent positions?

I'm literally clueless, so RBR for the best 2-car points haul...

Give it to Williams, for overcoming so many set-backs - admittedly some of them self-inflicted......I reckon Felipe would have finished well, too, if he hadn't come across Kimi - and he did very well to avoid that being a potentially horrendous T-bone........
But many contenders, really - good result for McLaren, and you can't say that Mercedes weren't dominant. |

Hmmm, this is tricky. The Mercs were good here - even if one of them did breakdown. Williams were strong here - and made up for their mistakes - maybe Felipe might have finished high up if he hadn't had the accident. The Red Bulls both finished well. The McLarens - still not a great car, but they did seem to manage some magic here.
Going to with the McLarens for getting both cars in the points. |

Mercedes won, but they also had yet another DNF due to unreliability. It's just good that it isn't Lewis Hamilton once again, so at least there's some justice there. I've gotta give this to Williams for clearly improving as this season progresses. It's nice to see Williams producing good results again because it's been a while.

Williams doing well at their home race. Could have taken it to the Germans if not for their qually disaster.

Very mixed day for most teams. So really the best team had to get both cars to the finish and in the top 10.
Williams? Bottas had a good drive. Mercedes? Hamilton got his win but they lost a car. So its Red Bull, McLaren or Torro Rosso. I gave it to McLaren over Red Bull because Buttons performance overrode Vettel's and while Ricciardo got a podium, there is no question about the Red Bull being a far better car. McLaren did more with what they had. |

If any team deserved some reward after the weekend they had, it has to be Williams. Free practice, started badly. Qualifying was a disaster. Race started badly, got worse, ended brilliantly. So glad it ended on a high for them

No clear-cut winner for me. In the end I gave it to Willliams for several reasons:
They really look as if they've got their mojo back Felipe's retirement was entirely out their hands and phew! that was close! They are Williams I like to see Claire Williams smile |

McLaren for making the most from the least, although most of that was from Saturday
I do agree that RBR and Williams were worthy as well, tough call between them |

I gave team to McLaren, as they were actually the most improved team of the race. Williams had 2 cars on pole last time and a 3rd & 4th, rather than a single 2nd, so not sure it was much of an improvement really.

RBR for getting a C class car (Renault) onto the podium and outscoring all the A class (Mercedes) teams in the race!

Could have gone several ways, but Williams - hell of a weekend for them with breakdowns & crashes, but to keep plugging away and getting a deserved second place means they get my vote.

McLaren for me. Decent qualifying, making tje most of others mistakes. Great starts from both drivers and good points. Would have been nice to see Button make the podium, but heyho
