PolyTromp leads Williams one-two; Darth keeps 55-point D1 cushion

The front row held its order in Australia, but third place was enough for the championship leader to retain commanding separation.

PolyTromp won the Australian D1 race from pole, leading Williams team-mate Webbah87 home in the same order as they started.

Darth Ussh finished third for Cadillac and added 19 points. The championship leader reached 129 points, 55 ahead of MagMagnussen on 74.

The grid draws the podium accurately

First stayed first, second stayed second and third stayed third across the recorded podium. That lack of positional change is itself useful: the race result rewarded qualifying order without requiring the archive to manufacture a comeback.

Darth's lead grew from 49 to 55 because his 19-point return exceeded MagMagnussen's 13. The winner took the largest race prize; the incumbent still improved the championship arithmetic.

A one-two changes the team table

Williams collected the first two finishing positions through PolyTromp and Webbah87. That result explains why the race can belong decisively to one team even while the driver championship continues to belong to someone else.

Australia split the acclaim cleanly. PolyTromp and Williams controlled the podium, while Darth departed with a slightly stronger claim on the season.
