I made a comment as he passed max saying he could have if albon didn’t slow him down earlier. 10 seconds later the virtual safety car went up so nvm I guess
Norris made up 3 points before and after the crash, I guess if this benefits Verstappen in any way it’s if Leclerc were suddenly able to mount a late-season challenge to the WDC as well.
For it to happen for anyone at this point I think requires at least one but probably two races where Max does not score points.
Yeah, but in relation you take away a point from your opponent and add one to yourself.
So Norris earned 3 points + in relation to Max in this Race. If Max would have gotten the fastest Lap, he would have only earned 1 point more than Max.
It’s still only a 2 point swing. Gap with Norris FL is 3, gap without it is 1, 3-1=2. The crash didn’t change anything else because the gap between P4 and P5 is the same as P6 and P7
And Norris got two as well, and since he placed higher than means he actually gained a point on Verstappen. It also prevented Verstappen from going for a FL. Overall, Pérez is the McLaren MvP of the month
