Although only a fraction of the 19 grands prix in the 2014 Formula One season have taken place in Europe, those eight races are arguably the most crucial on the calendar.

The European season, as it is often referred to—which tells you all you need to know about its importance—makes up the core of a given world championship campaign, usually lasting from mid-May until the beginning of September.

With each of the sport's 11 teams—from the all-conquering Mercedes outfit to perennial backmarkers Caterham—based on the continent, F1's return to Europe after the opening handful of "flyaway" races often leads to a season settling down into a rhythm, with the emergence of a natural competitive order as the cream rises to the top.

As such, when the paddock travels to Asia and the Americas for the final selection of grands prix around four months later, some teams and drivers will have already begun their winter break, while others will still have everything to play for, everything to lose and everything to gain. 

There is no question that Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes drivers at the head of the world championship standings, have the most to gain in the remaining six races of 2014—but which of them extracted the most from F1's European adventure?

And just how close to the Silver Arrows pair did the chasing pack, including Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, come to spoiling Mercedes' party?

Here's how both the constructors' and drivers' standings would look if only the points from the European grands prix counted toward the championship.
