HPJones converted D2 pole into victory in Bahrain for McLaren.
BULLDOGGER47 climbed from P4 to second for Ferrari, with Webbah87 recovering from P11 to third for Williams.
P2 pays better in the title race
BULLDOGGER47 leaves on 231 championship points, 66 ahead of Kaтю́shа Snowstorm on 165. The race winner is not the nearest listed title rival.
That separation allows a runner-up result to grow the lead. BULLDOG did not need to beat HPJones to outscore the driver immediately behind in the standings.
Eight places recovered for third
Webbah gained eight positions from P11 to P3, the podium's largest movement. BULLDOG gained two; HPJones held first.
Bahrain gives D2 three distinct outcomes: HPJones wins, Webbah charges and BULLDOGGER47 leaves with a 66-point championship cushion.
