But I mean, the point differential between Max and Lando didn't change with Perez crashing--they were already going to finish with the same spread. It's only the spot in constructor's (and his seat, probably) that he killed with that.

The higher you go in the ranking, the larger the points spread (in this case opening the gap by an extra point), plus he ruined Max's attempt at a fastest lap (worth another two points, plus one for Max, minus one for Lando).
_Probably_ too minor to really make a difference, but just so unnecessary, not to leave a bit of room.

but 4th and 5th vs 6th and 8th is still a 2 point difference between each.

1st and 2nd vs 2nd and 3rd is much different. 7 point spread vs 3.

But since they were 6th and 7th, it was only one point of difference, before they gained those two positions to fourth and fifth, when it became two

sorry, I mistyped, I meant 6th and 7th.

But this is the point spread:

4th = 12
5th = 10
6th = 8
7th = 6


What am I missing? It's still a 2 point difference between all of those. I remember during the live scoring in those final laps it went from a 3 point difference between Lando and Max, to...a 3 point difference after the crash. (Including Lando's fastest lap)

3rd to 4th is a 3 point difference, however (15 v 12).

You're right, I thought the single points difference kicked in earlier, but I guess it's only between 9th and 10th.

Also, goodbye once again to Daniel Ricciardo - not being able to hang with Tsunoda was not a good showing, let's see if the New Zealander DTM "champion of the hearts" will do a better job.

Well, that Brazil race was one for the history books.
Winning by 20 seconds from 17th (okay, net 15th, but still) on the grid with a car that your teammate didn't get out of the midfield - with so many opportunities to throw it all away.

Also, is it me, or is the Hulk always getting the absolute worst issues in the wet. Getting stuck on the banking must have been the absolute weirdest incapacitation of a race car I've seen in a fair while.
