AI commentary and outlook

A champion already crowned because his scoring never dipped from the first half of the season to the second

  • Five rounds remain, including the uncertain Qatar GP, but the title is already decided: Maximo Quiles is champion, and in a simulation of 10,000 seasons from this year's results the leader is never beaten.
  • The remaining fight is for 2nd place, where David Almansa is given an 87% chance by the same simulation. Brian Uriarte is at 10% and Alvaro Carpe at 4% for that place.
  • The champion's final margin is expected to be around 158 points.
QUILES

What decided Maximo Quiles's title is that his scoring held level across the whole year, with 170 points in the first half of the season and 181 in the second. He has 10 race wins and 15 podiums. He scored in every one of the 16 races he started, with the British GP the only round he missed.

With the crown settled, the order behind it is still open to whatever the riders and a few unpredictable afternoons decide to do with these percentages.
