SomaticCoast375 moved from sixth on the Brazil D1 grid to third at the finish, securing a first IMS podium for both driver and Ferrari. The result was worth 15 points.
Mehinovic00 and TheMekanic17 occupied the first two places after starting there. Somatic was the podium driver who changed the order most, gaining three positions to reach the final available step.
Fifteen points dominate Ferrari's nineteen
Ferrari scored 19 points across four starts in the opening round. Somatic's podium supplied 15 of them, leaving four points spread across the team's other classified work.
That distribution placed Ferrari fifth in the round table despite holding a D1 podium. Mercedes led on 52 and Red Bull followed on 38, a useful reminder that one trophy did not automatically create a broad team result.
The podium starts a chase from third
Somatic left Brazil third in the D1 drivers' order on 15 points, behind Mehinovic's 26 and TheMekanic's 18. The gain from sixth had created a podium; the standings made clear how much remained between third and first.
Ferrari reached Monza with an identifiable strength and an equally visible dependency. Its first IMS podium belonged to Somatic; so did most of the score holding the opening weekend together.
