Some made it look easy, while others were closely matched. Here is a look at how they all compared this season.

Note: The race comparison is for when both drivers finished the race. The winner of the battle will be in brackets.

Red Bull Racing

Sebastian Vettel dominated the whole field this year, let alone his outgoing team-mate. 13 wins and three podiums later and he is a four-time champion. He blew Webber out of the water throughout the season.

Qualifying: 17-2 (Vettel)

Race: 17-0 (Vettel) - 2 retirements

Team points: 67% - 33% (Vettel)

Race: 0-2 (Grosjean

Team points: 0% - 100% (Grosjean)

Race: 13-6 (Button)

Team points: 60% - 40% (Button)

Despite Paul di Resta beating his more experienced team-mate in their 2013 battle, he looks likely to be forced out of F1.

Qualifying: 17-2 (Bianchi)

Race: 14-2 (Bianchi) - three retirements
