After one of the most exciting races of the 2018 Formula 1 season, the United States Grand Prix, how do the sport’s 10 teams stack up against one another?

Scuderia Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen earned his first Formula 1 victory since returning to the Italian team in the 2014 season, and he did so by delivering them their sixth victory of the season in the season’s 18th race, the United States Grand Prix, at Circuit of the Americans.

Before Raikkonen’s victory, which ended his 111-race win drought, all of Ferrari’s victories this season had been earned by four-time Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel. In fact, Vettel, who began driving for the team in the 2015 season, had been the only Ferrari driver to win a race since two-time champion Fernando Alonso won the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.

Raikkonen’s victory in the 56-lap race around the 20-turn, 3.427-mile (5.513-kilometer) Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas made Ferrari the second team to have both of their drivers win at least one race this season.

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing are the only other team that can say that. They have been able to say that since Max Verstappen won the Austrian Grand Prix in early July, as Daniel Ricciardo won the Chinese Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix in April and May, respectively.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport are the only other team that have won a race this season. In fact, since Raikkonen earned his most recent victory prior to Sunday’s United States Grand Prix in the 2013 Australian Grand Prix when he was in his second and final season driving for Lotus, Mercedes are the only team aside of Ferrari and Red Bull Racing that have won any races.

While only one of Mercedes’ two drivers, Lewis Hamilton, has won a race this season, he has won nine of them, so Mercedes will likely end up with the highest win total among all teams for the fifth consecutive season. That said, with three races remaining on the 21-race 2018 schedule, Ferrari could still tie the Brackley-based team in that category.
