2015 (after 2 rounds)

The Toro Rossos were 1-2 in what could become a trend this season as Verstappen took victory to make up for his unfortunate retirement in Australia. Sainz was second again and closed the gap to championship leader Nasr to four points. Roberto Merhi brought up the rear in fourth to give Manor their first points of the season.

1. Felipe Nasr 40 pts.
2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 36 pts.
3. Max Verstappen 25 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 12 pts.

2015 (after 3 rounds)

Verstappen looked set for a second consecutive victory until a dramatic engine failure three laps from the end handed that opportunity to championship leader Nasr.

1. Felipe Nasr 65 pts.
2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 54 pts.
3. Max Verstappen 37 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 27 pts.

2015 (after 4 rounds)

A very poor race for Toro Rosso saw both cars retire, meaning an easy win for Nasr. Merhi is now ahead of Verstappen, thanks to Manor's impressive reliability.

1. Felipe Nasr 90 pts.
2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 54 pts.
3. Roberto Merhi 45 pts.
4. Max Verstappen 37 pts.

Another 1-2 for Toro Rosso. The order doesn't change much, and Nasr still has a decent 26-point cushion over Sainz.

2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 79 pts.
3. Roberto Merhi 57 pts.
4. Max Verstappen 55 pts.

2015 (after 6 rounds)

Verstappen lost another chance at victory after he hit Grosjean at Sainte Devote, which sent the young Toro Rosso driver into the barriers. It's going to take something really special for him to get into the title hunt, but there are still many races left to run.

1. Felipe Nasr 130 pts.
2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 97 pts.
3. Roberto Merhi 72 pts.
4. Max Verstappen 55 pts.

2015 (after 7 rounds)

Sauber didn't look too competitive in Montréal and it was a 1-2 for the Toro Rosso youngsters with Sainz leading the way. The gap between him and Nasr is now less than a race win. Verstappen is finally ahead of Merhi again.

1. Felipe Nasr 145 pts.
2. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 122 pts.
3. Max Verstappen 73 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 72 pts.

2015 (after 10 rounds)

A memorable drive from Verstappen sees him overtake his teammate by just one point as Sainz suffered a third consecutive DNF. However, Merhi is now Nasr's closest challenger in the championship, being four points ahead of Verstappen.

2. Roberto Merhi 127 pts.

2015 (after 17 rounds)

One might say that Nasr is beginning to feel the pressure. A decent 22-point lead has been eradicated by his retirement today. Verstappen's win means he now leads the championship for the first time this season by 3 points from the man who had hitherto led for the entire year.

1. Max Verstappen 284 pts.
2. Felipe Nasr 281 pts.
3. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 219 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 169 pts.
5. Alexander Rossi 54 pts.

2015 (after 18 rounds)

Yet another win for the Dutch teenager. The gap is now 10 points between himself and Nasr. For Nasr to take the title in Abu Dhabi he needs to win with Verstappen behind both Sainz and Merhi, or to simply finish the race if Verstappen retires. The Toro Rosso is not the most reliable car on the grid (or at least Sainz's Toro Rosso isn't), so the latter outcome is quite possible.

1. Max Verstappen 309 pts.
2. Felipe Nasr 299 pts.
3. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 219 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 169 pts.
5. Alexander Rossi 69 pts.

2015

Max Verstappen was grabbing all the headlines this year for a number of reasons, but Felipe Nasr was the one quietly leading the way for much of the season. However, Verstappen was able to eat into Nasr's lead (at one point the gap between them was 75 points!) as the year went on and took the lead in the penultimate race. Verstappen had a mistake-laden race in Abu Dhabi, and post-race time penalty for ignoring blue flags dropped him behind Nasr in the final classification. It didn't matter though, as the Dutchman still held a seven-point lead on the Brazilian GP2 graduate and became Toro Rosso's fifth rookie champion. Interestingly, this is the closest points gap in the rookie championship since 1993, when Rubens Barrichello similarly eroded Michael Andretti's tally in the closing stages, though in that case it was due to Andretti not being there to protect his lead

Final standings

1. Max Verstappen 324 pts.
2. Felipe Nasr 317 pts.
3. Carlos Sainz, Jr. 244 pts.
4. Roberto Merhi 181 pts.
5. Alexander Rossi 69 pts.
