Crowned at the Brazil season finale.

Ferrari scored 219.8 BOTT points in Brazil from one win, six podiums and seven top-five finishes. It was the second-highest team round score in IMS history through Season 4 Round 12 and completed a final 1648.35-1468.95 advantage over VCARB.

FTR Button won D2. Ferrari also placed BULLDOGGER47 second in D1 and E1, zoolander83 second and ContexRL third in D3, and Darth Ussh third in E1. One victory sat inside a six-podium scoring net.

The score is built below the winner

Ferrari won only one of the five divisions, fewer than Williams' two. Yet ten Ferrari starts yielded six podiums and seven top fives, while Williams finished fourth in the BOTT round on 104.4. The breadth more than doubled the rival score.

The historical table displays the five largest team round totals and highlights Ferrari's Brazil 219.8 in second. It makes the ranking auditable and shows the distance to both the record above and the scores immediately below.

Twelve rounds without surrendering first

Ferrari led VCARB after every Season 4 round. The gap was not monotonic—VCARB closed it to 31 after Zandvoort-R and 32.5 after Imola—but Ferrari's Brazil score expanded 82.6 after Silverstone-R into the final 179.4.

The finale therefore reflected the championship method. Ferrari did not need to monopolise the five wins. It placed cars throughout the podiums, turned depth into the season's biggest closing score and finished BOTT first by 179.4.
