René Rast secured his second drivers' championship following his third-place finish in the second race, with his closest rival Nico Müller exactly an event's worth of points behind. Given that Rast had an insurmountable number of wins, even if Müller had managed to close the gap he would still have lost the title on a count-back.^[2]
