McLaren led the Zandvoort BOTT round on 137 points, taking the weekend from VCARB while Williams retained the cumulative lead.

The score came from ten starts, two victories, four podiums and four top-five finishes. Every McLaren top-five result was therefore also a podium.

Third overall, first for the weekend

Williams remains first on 392 points, VCARB second on 377 and McLaren third on 324. Only 68 points cover the championship's leading three teams.

That order gives McLaren two gaps to attack: 53 points to VCARB and 68 to Williams. The Zandvoort round win shows the team can outscore both over one weekend.

Two victories anchor a compact return

McLaren's two wins came in D1 with Kevin_Zunneberg and E3 with Jan. The same team therefore supplied two first-time IMS winners across the round.

The season table has not changed leader, but its shape has changed: Zandvoort puts three teams inside 68 points and gives the third of them the latest round victory.
