Alezoo won the Qatar D4 race from pole for Ferrari, with Higosh second for Williams and McBeth655 third for Red Bull.
Higosh's 24 points moved the championship total to 134. JDJT3593 added 15 to reach 123, so the lead grew from two points to 11.
The grid survives intact
First, second and third on the grid became first, second and third at the finish. Qatar's D4 podium offers no recovery tale—and needs none. Its value lies in the contrast between a stable race order and a changing title margin.
Alezoo received the 31-point winner's return. Higosh received fewer points but the more consequential season update: nine additional points of advantage over JDJT.
Nine points added to the cushion
Higosh began the round two points ahead of JDJT3593 and ended it 11 clear. The runner-up finish therefore lacked the trophy but carried a measurable championship gain.
The chequered flag and the standings page answered different questions. Alezoo was quickest in the result that day; Higosh was best placed across seven rounds.
