How these odds work.
2,000 Monte-Carlo simulations of the remaining
15 races + 3 sprints.
Each driver's per-race finishing chance is weighted by their points-per-race form this season; we then tally who tops the table at year's end.
A model, not a crystal ball — real-world chaos (weather, DNFs, upgrades) isn't priced in.

How this is calculated. With
15 races and 3 sprints left, the most any driver can still score is
15×25 + 3×8 = 399 points. A driver is in the hunt
if their current points plus that maximum can still reach the leader's current total; otherwise they're
mathematically eliminated. Ties are decided on count-back (most wins), not modelled here.
