Place 7-9 decided by number of votes and reversed WCC order, places 10-11 decided by by reversed WCC order.
* Felipe Massa's tenth ever win.
* Daniel Ricciardo's 12th and Lewis Hamilton's 68th podium finish.
* First win for Massa since Germany 2010.
* Third time this season with these three drivers sharing the podium.
* Best ever result for Will Stevens, unsurprisingly.
* I didn't bother with double points, it only makes sense for a comparison with the WDC points.

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for his second Voting Championship title!
A strong second place for Daniel Ricciardo.
Only the second time since 2003 that Fernando Alonso finishes worse than 4th, 2009 being the only other time (then when he was as low as 13th).
Q1-Q4 are season scores divided into four quarters, races distributed 5-5-5-4.

*The "DR14" column shows the points difference to the 2014 F1 WCC as it would have been with no double points.
Ranking behind the bankrupters, quite a disastrous season for Lotus and Sauber. Huge points shift towards all Mercedes engined teams.

Quality improved from 2013 and continues to be high in the Pirelli era.
Satisfaction also improved but is historically mediocre.
Expect an update to the overall Voting and Rating stats during this brutally dull winter.
A big thank you to all participating voters for this season! The 2015 Voting is expected to open March 15 when the Australian GP is over. Until then, have a lovely time!
