MagMagnussen won Brazil E2 from pole and finished Season 6 first on 246 points, nine ahead of Rizla. The runner-up climbed from P6 and reduced a one-point pre-finale gap only in race position, not in the championship.
II M4IK II completed the podium from P7 for VCARB, ending a 20-start podium drought. Mag held first, while both drivers behind gained positions.
Pole resists the P6 recovery
Rizla gained four places and 23 points, but Mag's pole victory supplied 31. The eight-point scoring difference expanded the title margin from one to nine.
E2 had changed leaders repeatedly: Rizla after Abu Dhabi, Rick after Bahrain and Mag after Spa. Brazil was the first of those closing rounds to retain the same leader at the next snapshot—because it was the last snapshot.
Three leaders narrow to one winner
The volatile sequence makes the nine-point finish meaningful. Mag entered with only one point of protection and left with nine by winning the same race in which Rizla finished second.
Brazil aligned both E2 first places on Mag. Pole became the race win, the race win became 31 points and those points settled the championship nine clear.
