Formula One's second season under the V6 turbo-hybrid regulations followed a similar pattern to the first.

Mercedes once again produced a package light years ahead of anyone else and won the constructors' championship with ease. Again, they failed to win just three races—and as in 2014, only one team was able to take advantage.

Last year it was Red Bull, this time around it was Ferrari. And for the second year in a row, Williams were third in the constructors' championship.

But some teams had very different years. McLaren disappointed in 2014, but their performances in 2015 were nothing short of appalling; on the other side of the coin, Sauber had a relatively successful 2015 after scoring no points in 2014.

Force India, Toro Rosso, Lotus and Manor also saw their fortunes shift—some for better, some for worse.

Earlier in the season, we awarded grades to each team based on how they started the year. As we look forward to the start of 2016 and a fresh start for everyone, here are their final marks.

 

Grading Method


Each team is graded based on how well they performed over the whole season. As well as race results, reliability and how well they operated at race weekends, budgets—using figures published by Autosport's Dieter Rencken—and expectations are also taken into account.

The words "we win together and we lose together" are favourites in F1, so each team is rated as a unit—chassis, engine supplier and personnel all rolled into one, with only the drivers excluded. Championship order is used to determine placement in the article.

Grades from A+ to F are used. A+ is the best possible grade, F is the worst.
