The veteran KunpFuPanda returns to the top of the standings with 58 points earned thanks to a good consistency, while the previous championship leader Sayayines4ever finds himself chasing with 53 points (-5). The winner of the last race Tbrum77 gets the third place with 51 points (-7). We get off the podium and find the first Haas driver MIKE_OKIZICHY with 45 points (-13). The fight for fifth position is very heated between RecklezzXV and KallMeMaybe with two riders on equal points: 29 (-29). Also interesting is the fight for P7 (occupied by KrazyFace7 even if it seems to have abandoned the league) which begins with P7 and reaches P22 with all the Drivers who are within a span of 18 points.
For the constructors’ classification, we find McLaren and Haas on equal 87 points, followed by Mercedes 68, Scuderia Ferrari with 57 and Aston Martin with 42 concludes the Top 5, and from P6 down we find a very heated battle also at constructors level. From Alpine with 17 points, AlphaTauri with 15 points, AlfaRomeo 14 points, Williams 12 points and in last position Red Bull with 8 points.
