SleekMover finished third in Silverstone D1 after starting fourth, earning a first IMS podium for Haas. Mehinovic00 won from second and Lups3252 took second from sixth.
One place gained was enough to cross the podium threshold. The result carried 15 points, three fewer than Lups and 11 fewer than the race winner.
Fifteen points carry nearly half the Haas total
Haas scored 31 BOTT points from five starts. Its round contained one podium and two top-five results, with Sleek supplying 15 points and the only top-three finish.
Williams led the meeting on 61 points and McLaren followed on 55. Haas did not enter that top-three team frame, but Sleek gave it representation in D1's most visible three positions.
A new podium forms beneath an unchanged leader
TheMekanic17 retained the championship lead on 83 points while Lups rose to second on 64. Sleek's milestone belonged to the race rather than the supplied top-two table, and that distinction is exactly what keeps it his.
Abu Dhabi came next. Sleek travelled there with no inflated title claim, only the concrete upgrade Silverstone had provided: fourth on the grid had become third at the flag and a first IMS podium.
