let's do some math real quick for George Russell's chance to win the title 2026 season...
Kimi Antonio Giogio: 320 - Jorge Russellino: 236 =
84 pts. gap
84 / 7 remaining races (assuming Qatar & Abu Dhabi didn't get cancelled) =
12 pts. / race
point system:
| P1 | P2 | P3 | P4 | P5 | P6 | P7 | P8 | P9 | P10 |
|---|
| 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
if Jorg wants WDC, he needs to follow one of these routes on all races:
| |
| pts. gained for RUS against ANT |
|
|---|
| P1 | P4 or lower | 25-12 = 13 |
| P2 | P7 ditto | 18-6 = 12 |
| P3 | P9 ditto | 15-2 = 13 |
| P4 | shadow realm | 12 |
also, Kimi won 8 GP while George won 3... so, GR might need to win ALL 7 RACES / 6 while Kimi doesn't win 1 in case of tie-breaker
note: I didn't count the sprints for the sake of
my sanity simplicity
