MODERATORS
Even a single DNF blows the title race wide open (assuming a Norris win). Max is still the favourite but it's mathematically possible for Norris even without any DNFs. Marko isn't wrong about the implication of the pace advantage - if Norris can win by 22 seconds and easily take fastest lap last lap on old hards then he might have a shot. Winning all remaining races and taking 7/9 fastest laps will have him win even with Max getting all second places.
Unlikely, but enough to make Max sweat and enough to give us viewers a bit of hope and uncertainty.
