Because the 2025 part is misleading. The money isn’t paid out in full at the end of the year. It’s money paid out over the course of 2025. And when you factor that in it should instantly make you question “how can pay out the prize money for the year that is still ongoing?” That’s because they don’t. The money that is being paid out over the course of 2025 is the prize money teams earned in 2024. So the graph isn’t actually showing prize pool of the 2025 season, it’s showing the prize pool of the 2024 season and in 2024 Alpine did finish ahead of Williams in the constructs.
Whoever made this graph doesn’t really understand what those numbers mean.

Thank you for the clarity you added on this. That makes sense. In 2024 Alpine was a significantly better performer than Williams.
