That statement is backwards, 11th place is the furthest back that could catch Max. Max can not finish 11th there are not enough points left for 10 drivers to jump him. There are 10 races left and each race has 102 pts available and 3 sprint races with 36 pts, if 2 - 11 got those points evenly Max would still be champ. The furthest Max could drop is 5th.

FYI I think I managed to improve calculations of worst possible outcome and the results are looking waaay nicer (no more boring symmetry).

Thanks again!
