Cloud won the Las Vegas D0 race from fourth on the grid, leading Raptorr home in a Mercedes one-two. Triske043 completed the recorded top three for Cadillac after starting sixth.
The result gave Mercedes 53 D0 constructor points for the round and moved its season total to 143. Aston Martin remained second on 90 after adding 13.
Two silver cars, two different routes
Cloud made up three positions between grid and flag. Raptorr began and ended second, while Triske043 matched Cloud's three-place gain to rise from sixth to third. The podium therefore paired Mercedes control with two measured recoveries.
For Cloud, the 30-point return took the D0 championship lead to 97 points. Karl Verghese was second on 58, leaving the margin at 39 after four rounds.
One afternoon, two cushions
The driver and constructor tables told the same broad story without becoming the same story. Cloud's 39-point advantage belonged to an individual campaign; Mercedes' 53-point advantage reflected both cars scoring at the front in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas did not merely add another win to the leader's column. It gave Mercedes the kind of result rivals dislike most: the first car took maximum control, and the second denied everyone else the obvious reply.
