Mercedes signed off in style at the 2015 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, securing their 16th race win of the Formula One season and setting a new record for one-two finishes. Nico Rosberg led home Lewis Hamilton for their 12th of the year—beating their own record of 11 from 2014.

Behind them, it was business as usual for Ferrari. The Italian team have been second-best all year long and, on Sunday, Kimi Raikkonen chalked up their 16th podium of the campaign.

Sebastian Vettel was fourth despite starting 15th; the Scuderia look to be the only team with even a small chance of taking the fight to Mercedes in 2016.

Force India finished the season strongly, and McLaren had one of their most competitive races of the year, but Williams and Red Bull failed to shine under the Yas Marina lights—as did Toro Rosso.

Lotus, meanwhile, had something to smile about at their final race under their current owners. Renault will take over soon—but the Lotus name may survive for one more campaign.

F1 returns to our screens in March next year, but testing begins in late February. All the teams will be working flat-out to build the best possible car for the new season—and hopefully, the engine suppliers will be doing the same.

For the last time in 2015, here's how the teams rank.

 

Note on Team Power Rankings

F1 team power rankings ignore the points table and instead present a snapshot of where each team stands in relation to their competitors based on the three key factors of reliability, single-lap and long-run pace.

The rankings are based on how they would perform if racing on an "average circuit" that places equal emphasis on each area of the car.

All position changes are relative to those in the previous set of rankings, published after the Brazilian Grand Prix. You can find them here.
