The only movement on the team side of the championship fight is Williams, who moved up to fourth place with their strong finish. Bottas taking the second step on the podium allowed them to overtake Force India in the standings, and close in to within three points of third place Ferrari.

Out front, Mercedes are storming away and not looking back, and the dominant force of the last four years Red Bull are left looking longingly into the distance. At the wrong end of the table, Sauber and Caterham remain the only two teams without any points to their name this year.
