Techubi started 11th in the Spa D1 finale and finished third for McLaren, gaining eight places. FatCatBatMan465 won from P3 and UKTUS finished second from P5.

The recovery was the largest among the top three: eight positions against two for the winner and three for the runner-up.

The sixth row reaches the final podium

Title outcomes naturally dominated Spa, but Techubi's grid-to-finish movement was a distinct piece of race action. P11 became P3 at the final event.

McLaren did not appear in the leading two D1 constructor totals, which belonged to Williams and Ferrari. The podium nevertheless gave the team a closing result of substance.

A recovery beside the championships

An archive loses texture if every finale story becomes a title recap. Techubi's eight-place climb supplies the sporting detail that the championship table cannot.

Season 5 closed with champions confirmed and one final D1 driver rising from outside the top ten to the podium. Techubi owned that last movement.
