Force India
What a run this team is having this year! Race after race, they go on to prove how much they have improved and this race was no different. Paul Di Resta drove a wonderful race, finishing in 9th after staring in 21st. Sutil, who at one point was running in 3rd, finished in 7th. This further extends their lead from the McLaren team to 22 points.
If they hang on to this lead until the summer break, then it is almost certain that they will finish ahead of the McLaren team which will be a great boost to their confidence level.

Torro Rosso
At the beginning of the weekend, it looked like this team will have a great race. Ricciardo put in an amazing performance in qualifying to start from 5th, but finished in 8th. It could have been better for him but this is still good. Vergne was another one of the tire failure victims. After damage to his car, the team decided to retire his car.
McLaren
Another disappointing race for the Woking-based team. Their 2nd consecutive race without points after finishing in the points for 64 races. This stat speaks a lot for itself. They need to concentrate more on next year’s car and avoid making the same mistake.
Button finished in 13th and Perez suffered a retirement after two tire failures during the weekend. Right now, it looks like an even tougher year ahead for the team who are currently 6th in the Constructors championship.
Williams
A great achievement for the Williams team who started their 600th GP this weekend. The only thing to be happy about this weekend is that their drivers finished in 11th and 12th, which is their best finish all season long. They are yet to score a point this season.
Sauber
Hulkenburg scored the team’s only point in 5 races. After a great performance last year, this year has been a step back for this midfield team. They have a long way to go to match last year’s performance or even close the gap to their midfield rivals.
Pirelli
The sole tire supplier was under a lot of criticism all year long, and the events of the British Grand Prix just went on to add to the Italian company’s bad fortunes. The way things went during the British Grand Prix is just unacceptable for this level of motorsports.
They need to improve and they need to do it now. FIA have given the go ahead to sort out the problems by using any means available. Let’s hope this works and the drivers get to actually race rather than looking after the tires!
