McLaren. Never mind luck, they were in the right place(s) to maximize their WCC points.

Definitely McLaren. Now, they will really put the squeeze on Red Bull, and chew even more out of Verstappen's lead.
As a special mention, Williams. Albon has a teammate that can take care of himself and bring the machinery home. Colapinto is proving himself to be miles better than Sargeant. Don't be surprised if Vowels signs him for beyond '25 if he keeps this up. |

McLaren. Great damage limitation after Norris' disastrous Q1, got him into the points and ultimately finished 4th, with a bit of outside help from Perez and Sainz; sometimes you need a bit of outside help.
McLaren now have a 20 point lead in the WCC. |

Ill buck the trend and say Williams. They replaced a driver with the intent of getting a driver who could score points and back up Albon.
This weekend both Colapinto and Albon made Q3 and finished 7th and 8th, meeting their brief to the letter. Williams scored an impressive 10 points today against a team season tally prior to this weekend of just 6 points. Credit where credit is due. Only 3 teams outscored Williams today. |

Williams - the decision to drop Sargeant is loooking very good. Maximised their weekend and have no jumped Alpine in the standings.
Good weekend for McLaren as well - especially with Perez crashing out late on. |

McLaren, but it wasn't a done deal for me. Ferrari were also in contention for having two cars near the front. However, while Lando contributed to the team's points haul with not only his own score but also with his help for Oscar, Carlos was certainly not playing a team game when he challenged Charles near the end.
I was also pleased and impressed to see Williams performance. As others have said, the somewhat late decision to replace Sargent has been vindicated (and the car was impressive too). |

Papaya for great strategy and support for the drivers, although Ferrari didn't really do much wrong - and Williams deserve a nod too!
