2014 without Mercedes works team...

I got bored so here's some of the 'facts' if the season was missing the Mercedes works team (all a bit of fun and not to be taken too seriously!)
Ricciardo would be champion from Bottas 315 points to 273. They would have went into Abu Double Doo with a shot at the title and Ricciardo being thrown out of Qualifying with his team mate would have made things dramatic indeed! You can imagine Massa would have moved over for Bottas as well at some stage allowing him to take all 50 points and win number 5.
Over the season Ricciardo amassed 6 wins, Bottas 4, Vettel and Massa 3 each and Alonso, Perez and Magnussen, who would have taken a sensational debut victory for McLaren, all got 1 win each.
There would have been 5 podiums for Jenson Button, 3 for Nico Hulkenberg, another one for rookie Magnussen, and even one for Kimi in Spa! Jules Bianchi would have finished a sensational 6th on the road, 7th after penalty for Marussia in Monaco and would have scored 6 points for doing so meaning Marussia would still have outscored Sauber over the season 6 points to 5 despite Sauber getting three points finishes. Caterham would have scored their first points in Monaco as well with a 9th for Ericsson.
Red Bull would have won the WCC from Williams with Ferrari close behind in 3rd. Every team would have scored points in the season for the first time since 2005.
