We’ll get another update in 15 minutes apparently. If we get a shortened race, then points will only be awarded if we the leader completes at least two laps must be completed without a safety car. And there are three possible bands of reduced points: Up to 25% of distance would be 6 points for a win; 25-50% means 13 points for winning; and 50-75% is 19 points for the winner. After that it’s full points – which Verstappen will need to clinch that title today.
In half an hour, the three-hour clock – within which the race needs to be finished – starts ticking down. Not to be confused with the two-hour clock, which starts when the race commences … and within which it must also be completed. Got that? Good.
