    24 point difference right now, up to 58 points left to earn. I agree Norris has to fumble, but it’s not unforseeable that Max wins.

    1 DNF from Norris and it’s likely over. Alternatively, Max wins everything, Norris gets a 3rd and a 4th place in the main races and 2nd in the sprint (or another combination where Norris isn’t 2nd or 1st each race). Both scenarios are unlikely to happen, but not exactly a long shot either.

    Does pole position still give a point? Those could really make a difference in these last races.

      You mean fastest lap? Qualifying has never given points (to the best of my knowledge).

      Fastest lap point was retired after Ricciardo’s humiliating final action of his career, nicking points away from McLaren on behalf of his team Red Bull Racing Bulls
