Season 1 crowned Red Bull as D1 constructors' champion, VCARB in D2 and Ferrari in D3. Their final margins were 13, 11 and zero points, with Ferrari taking the tied D3 table on countback.
The outcomes resist a single team-season template. One leader protected a long-held advantage, another arrived through a two-round charge, and the third required countback to order an exact tie.
Red Bull's 35-point cushion contracts to 13
Red Bull led Mercedes by 35 after Las Vegas, saw that margin fall to nine at Silverstone, rebuilt it to 19 in Abu Dhabi and carried 13 through the Austria finale. The final totals were 176 and 163.
Mercedes won D1 at both Silverstone with Mehinovic00 and Austria with Thalo4. Red Bull answered most decisively through TheMekanic17's Abu Dhabi pole victory, keeping the season-long chase on its side of the ledger.
VCARB turns 39 points back into first place
McLaren still led VCARB by 39 before Spa. Tofo17's win anchored a 37-point D2 addition that reduced the gap to two, then VCARB scored 36 in Austria and moved from second to first on 149.
Aston Martin emerged second on 138 after adding 35 in the finale. VCARB's final 11-point lead therefore came with a different runner-up from the team it had chased into Austria.
Ferrari recovers twelve points to force a tie
Williams entered Austria on 69 D3 points, 12 ahead of Ferrari on 57. Ferrari's 22-point finale and Williams' ten brought both to 79, with Ferrari listed first on countback.
The closest team finish contained the largest late arithmetic swing of the three endgames. D1 still had 13 points of daylight, D2 had 11, and D3 had only the ordering mechanism left.
Season 1 did not crown its leading teams by repeating one plot across three divisions. Red Bull defended, VCARB caught and Ferrari tied. The tables reached the same final weekend by entirely different roads.
