Baku's five divisions produced winners from four teams: TheMekanic17 for Red Bull in D1, PerfectPaulie88 for Alpine in D2, Her Wet Cat and TheIceman729 for Ferrari in D3 and E1, and quenooo29 for McLaren in E2.

The victories did not create one uniform championship story. D1 compressed to five points, E1 narrowed to ten and E2 expanded to 46, while D2 and D3 leaders retained margins of 42 and 55.

Two leaders win, two chasers answer

Her Wet Cat and quenooo won while already leading D3 and E2. TheMekanic and TheIceman won from second in their supplied standings, reducing piastrigoat's D1 lead and Darth Ussh's E1 advantage.

PerfectPaulie won D2 from ninth and moved to 161 points, but ForestalWaif1 remained 42 clear on 203. A race victory could therefore be a major result without producing the round's tightest title contest.

The team table rewards different depth

Ferrari led the BOTT round on 207 points, Red Bull followed on 182 and McLaren scored 141. Alpine won D2 but finished outside the top three on 80, showing how five-division depth separated the team order from the winners' list.

Brazil came next with three very different pressures to follow: five points in D1, ten in E1 and a 46-point E2 lead. Baku's value was not merely five winners; it was five consequences.
