Ferrari scored 230 points at Monza, placing the round third on the IMS all-time team-score list through Season 5 Round 2. The total came from two wins, eight podiums and nine top-five finishes across 12 starts.

The round victory was emphatic: Alpine finished second on 101 points and Williams third on 91. Ferrari's advantage over the nearest team was 129 points.

Only two team rounds sit higher

The historical table was headed by Ferrari's 289-point Bahrain opener, followed by its 266-point Mystery Race performance in Season 3. Monza's 230 displaced VCARB's 225-point Bahrain score to fourth.

Fifth belonged to Ferrari's 219.8-point Season 4 finale in Brazil. Displaying all five positions matters: third is not decoration when the two higher and two lower benchmarks can be inspected beside it.

Depth does more work than the win count

The comparison table shows Bahrain's record had three Ferrari wins and seven podiums; Monza had two wins and eight podiums. That extra depth in the top three helped the team reach 230 points and more than double Alpine's haul.

Ferrari had authored the first- and third-highest team totals on the table and led the BOTT standings on 519 points. Monza supplied a second result of historical scale immediately after the record holder.
