Season 6 opens at Austria with 14 rounds, six divisions and an F1 25 calendar that finishes in Brazil. Before the first grid forms, the clearest reference point is the order Season 5 left behind.

Ferrari closed the previous campaign at the top of BOTT on 1,921 points. Williams followed on 1,528 and McLaren on 1,181, giving every Season 6 team a rather unmissable red target.

Six champions, six separate resets

Sammy278 carries the D1 lead-out after finishing Season 5 on 190 points, 14 clear of FatCatBatMan465. Aban-96- ended D2 on 184, with Kaтю́shа Snowstorm second on 139, while NesbiLeGrand's 289-point D3 campaign created a 106-point gap to second place.

The European-side reference points are Sintium in E1, Rizla in E2 and geo2002 in E3. Their final cushions were 19, 64 and 88 points respectively. Those numbers describe what was achieved; Austria starts the argument over whether any of it travels into a new season.

Fourteen different settings leave nowhere to hide

Austria, Texas, Zandvoort, Spain, Silverstone and Jeddah form the opening six rounds. After the first break, Australia and China lead into Monza and Japan; Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Spa then set up the Brazil finale.

That sequence asks for more than one quick weekend. A championship must survive 14 circuits, and BOTT must aggregate the work of six divisions. Ferrari owns the previous final score, but not a single Season 6 point has yet been awarded.
