Z4yF1 finished second from P3 in Canada's D2 race and secured a first IMS podium for Red Bull. ctxVincent won from P4 and BBLDRiZZY6523 took third from P6.
The result placed Ferrari, Red Bull and VCARB on the same podium. HPJones remained the drivers' leader on 125 points, 20 ahead of Opts Tryhard.
One gained place crosses a career threshold
Z4yF1's route was smaller than the recoveries around it: ctxVincent gained three positions and BBLDRiZZY6523 also gained three. The career significance belonged to the destination, not the size of the movement.
A first podium achieved by moving from third to second is still a first podium. Canada's classification needs no artificial drama when the simple career fact already separates it from an ordinary runner-up finish.
The leading tables belong to VCARB
HPJones led the drivers and VCARB led the constructors by 22 over Ferrari. Z4yF1's breakthrough added Red Bull to the weekend's podium conversation without pretending it changed either championship leader.
Spain came next with Z4yF1 carrying a new credential and D2 carrying the same leading badge. Canada changed the driver's career column, not the championship's first line.
