P14 reaches within one point

The sequence had now changed names three times: Rizla after Abu Dhabi, Rick after Bahrain and Mag after Spa. Each new lead survived only until the next completed event.
Three leaders in three rounds
Spa did not settle E2; it made the finale sharper. Mag led Rizla by one, with the most recent championship history warning that even a larger advantage had disappeared immediately.
The result joined race recovery and title volatility. Mag moved from third to first, Rizla from fourteenth to second, and the championship moved to its third leader in as many rounds.
