FatCatBatMan465 and Jonno combined for 64.4 Mercedes points in China's D1 race, the sixth-highest driver-pair score in IMS history through Season 4 Round 10.

FatCat won from P2 and Jonno finished second from pole, with Sammy278 third. The one-two moved Mercedes to 235 constructors' points, five ahead of Red Bull.

The same pair owns first and sixth

FatCat and Jonno's 79.8-point Imola result remained first in the comparison. Their 64.4 in China sat sixth, behind four other pairings and 0.4 ahead of the next entry.

Between those Mercedes scores sat Wadz51 and Darth Ussh at 75 from the Season 3 Mystery Race and 72 at Monza, Ussh and BULLDOGGER47 at 70 in Spain, and LKR Gerardo6 and Meowsy at 68 in Monza.

The pair score changes two championships

Jonno left China leading the drivers by six over Websey, while Mercedes led Red Bull by five. The historical pairing score was also the immediate engine of two narrow championship takeovers.

Silverstone-R followed with both D1 tables under Mercedes control by single digits. China had supplied the one-two, the sixth-place historical score and the live stakes in one result.
