One win, five podiumsIMS story

Ferrari won one of Monza's five divisions and scored 211 BOTT points. McLaren won three divisions and scored 178. The 33-point difference came from the positions around the victories, not the win count itself.

Wadz51 converted E1 pole for Ferrari's victory. VeRse LGR, MakeSumUP and quenooo29 won D2, D3 and E2 for McLaren, giving the third-placed round team more winners than the team at the top.

Three McLaren wins stop at three podiums

Each McLaren winner was the team's only podium representative in that division set. Three wins, three podiums and three top-five finishes produced 178 points: spectacular at the sharp end, sparse immediately behind it.

Ferrari's one victory sat inside five podiums and six top-five finishes. Wadz51 led Darth Ussh home in an E1 one-two, while the remaining classifications added the placements that pushed the total beyond 200.

Thirty-three points live below first place

A simple winner count would have scored Monza 3-1 to McLaren. BOTT scored the full classifications and returned Ferrari 211, VCARB 193 and McLaren 178. The table rewarded distribution rather than a headline tally.

Monza therefore offers a different team story from Ferrari's four-win Mystery Race. There, victories created the separation. Here, a lone win plus four other podiums beat a rival whose three victories had almost nothing attached behind them.
