Mercedes clinched the Formula One Constructors' Championship with four races to spare after another display of dominance at the 2015 Russian Grand Prix—but they had to wait for it to be confirmed.

Ferrari looked like they'd spoiled the German team's day as Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen came home in second and fifth. However, a 30-second post-race time penalty given to Raikkonen for his last-lap collision with Valtteri Bottas relegated him to eighth.

The Silver Arrows, therefore, scored three more points than the Scuderia—exactly the number they needed to take the title.

Force India were also celebrating in the Sochi paddock after a brilliant podium scored by Sergio Perez. The Mexican was a touch fortunate, benefiting from the Raikkonen-Bottas incident, but he and the team made their own luck with a daring strategic choice.

And a small cheer was heard in the McLaren garage, too, as Jenson Button somehow ended up in the points. Fernando Alonso did too, albeit temporarily—he was later demoted for repeated track-limits violations.

Attention now turns to the Americas, where three of the final four races will be held. The next is the United States Grand Prix on October 25.

Until then, 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 Japanese Grand Prix. You can find them here.
