McLaren led the Spa BOTT round on 201 points and moved to second in the cumulative standings.
The team converted 12 starts into one win, four podiums and six top-five finishes. Cloud supplied the victory in D1.
Thirty-five points remain to VCARB
VCARB leads on 1,830 points, McLaren follows on 1,795 and Ferrari sits third on 1,773. Only 57 points cover the leading three.
McLaren is 35 from first and 22 ahead of Ferrari. The Spa round win therefore changes both the pressure above and the protection below.
One win supported by five more top fives
Three additional podiums and two further top-five finishes gave McLaren the depth to score 201 with only one victory. The round was built around saturation rather than a multi-win spike.
Spa leaves BOTT compressed and ordered: VCARB still leads, McLaren has the latest round and 35 points define the remaining distance between them.
