Mozza43 won the Season 6 D2 opener in Austria from third on the grid, converting a two-place gain into a first IMS victory and 30 championship points.
CONNOROCE followed from P4 to P2 for Williams, with Kaтю́shа Snowstorm recovering from P6 to complete the podium for Haas.
A debut win built through forward movement
None of the podium finishers held position. Mozza gained two places, CONNOROCE also gained two and Kaтю́shа gained three, making the first D2 podium a product of progress from three separate rows.
The reward at the top was immediate. Mozza's 30 points created a seven-point advantage over CONNOROCE on 23 after the first of 14 rounds.
Aston Martin opens with a result to build around
Aston Martin scored 102 BOTT points across its 12 starts, with Mozza's win leading a return of two podiums and four top-five finishes. That placed the team third overall after Austria.
The larger D2 question begins with a precise opening fact: the new leader did not inherit pole, and the chase already starts seven points behind a first-time winner.
