- Without penalty, Alpine recovers seventh in the United States GP and adds 6 points, but in turn loses Ocon’s tenth place and loses 1 point. In total, he won 5 points to distance himself from McLaren in the fight for fourth place in the constructors’ world championship. Now, between them there are 11 points difference instead of 6.
- Aston Martin, without Vettel’s seventh place, loses 2 points, so it is now 3 from sixth position in the Alfa Romeo constructors’ world championship, instead of 1.
- The other two drivers affected are from Haas (who lost two points) and from AlphaTauri (who lost one to Tsunoda), so the fight for eighth place in the world championship tightens even more, with only one point ahead for the Americans.
