Mercedes wrapped up their third consecutive constructor's championship after another race victory in Japan, with Nico Rosberg's first place and Lewis Hamilton's third place allowing them to secure the title. Red Bull hold firm in second, as Ferrari failed to close the gap after dropping back last weekend in Malaysia.

Force India have a ten point lead over Williams, as the Grove-based squad's performance has dropped off significantly towards the end of this season. They still have a good gap to McLaren, however, with only the top five teams sitting above 100 points.
