VCARB won three Bahrain races and left first in BOTT on 1,645 points, 45 ahead of Ferrari.

Techubi won E1, Rickk116 E2 and Elias_endale E3. Four podiums and seven top-five finishes carried the team to 164 round points.

Three wins do not win the round

Ferrari led the Bahrain BOTT round on 182 points despite recording no victories. VCARB finished 18 points behind on the weekend while winning half the races.

The cumulative table rewards the part VCARB protected: 1,645 to Ferrari's 1,600. McLaren remains only six further back on 1,594.

Wins and depth point to different teams

VCARB concentrated its score in three victories; Ferrari spread its points through four podiums and ten top-five finishes. Bahrain demonstrates how different profiles can decide the race count and team round separately.

The season consequence belongs to VCARB: losing the weekend does not cost first place because three wins keep enough of the round score attached to the existing lead.
