Mercedes returned to winning ways with a dominant Formula One display in Sunday's 2015 Belgian Grand Prix.

The power-hungry Spa-Francorchamps circuit could not have been more suited to the W06s of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Utilising a new, curved rear-wing design, the two Silver Arrows blew away the competition and secured their seventh one-two finish of the year.

Sebastian Vettel looked set for third after qualifying only ninth. However, his Ferrari team pushed the boundaries of tyre life a little too far, and a blowout two laps from home gifted Lotus their first podium since the end of 2013.

Force India and Red Bull also impressed, but McLaren came crashing back down to earth after their promising outing at the last race in Hungary. Despite being able to call on the considerable talents of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, the team were comfortably slowest of all the midfield runners.

Monza is next—another power circuit. The teams who performed well in Belgium will head to the Italian Grand Prix on September 6 in an optimistic mood.

Until then, here's how the teams rank.

 

A 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 and 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 Hungarian Grand Prix. You can find them here.
