Ferrari scored 207 points in Brazil from two wins, six podiums and seven top-five finishes across 12 starts. The total tied for ninth on the IMS team-round table through Season 5 Round 7.

The tie was with Ferrari's Season 2 Baku round, also worth 207 points but built from two wins and four podiums. Equal totals had arrived through different distributions of top-three finishes.

Nine positions, ten rows

Ferrari's 289-point Bahrain opener led the list, followed by 266 at the Season 3 Mystery Race and 230 at Monza. Brazil sat 82 points below the record.

The 207 tied total also sat four points behind eighth-place Ferrari at Season 3 Monza and 5.7 behind VCARB's 212.7 at Imola. The surrounding rows make ninth visible rather than ceremonial.

Depth carries the score

Ferrari's six podiums mattered because only two were wins. The team converted broad top-three representation into a result that beat Williams by 51 points and Alpine by 116.

Brazil therefore belonged in the record book for accumulation rather than a clean sweep. Two wins set the peaks; six podiums supplied the mass beneath them.
