Verstappen had the title wrapped up by Mexico already, but who am I to spoil the suspense and excitement.
Charles Leclerc makes a new personal best by finishing second overall. His previous best championship finish was third in 2019.
The last time Lewis Hamilton finished as low as third overall was in 2016. The last time he finished lower than that was in 2011, when he was fourth.
An unusually bad season for underdog wins, only Nyck de Vries took a win for any team outside the top three in the WCC.
Q1-Q4 are season scores divided into four quarters, races distributed 6-5-5-6.
