Williams led the Belgium BOTT round with 159 points from ten starts, including two wins, five podiums and five top-five finishes.
Ferrari ranked second for the round on 115 and Red Bull third on 78. Williams therefore gained 44 points on the nearest weekend rival and 81 on Red Bull.
The podium was the production line
Lorenz Patten supplied the D0 win and Higosh the D4 win. Three further Williams podium finishes turned those peaks into breadth, giving half of the team's ten starts a top-three result.
Five top-five finishes and five podiums also reveal an unusually sharp distribution: every Williams result counted in the top five was a podium. The team did not pad the score with a long tail of near-misses.
The lead reaches 199
Williams left Belgium on 666 BOTT points. Red Bull was second on 467 and Ferrari third on 446, placing the leader 199 points clear of its nearest challenger.
The round belonged to Williams for more than its two wins. Belgium showed why a team championship is a census rather than a highlight reel: count all ten starts, and the five podiums explain the 199-point horizon.
