Were this 25 years ago, reaching the 16-race mark would coincide with the end of the Formula 1 season - but in our current 24-race calendar, there's still another third of the season's runtime to go.
A 31-point margin separates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris as it stands with eight races left, having swelled from the nine-point gap at the summer break following Norris' oil leak in Zandvoort. It's a big margin, but not one that's insurmountable - although Piastri certainly has an upper hand, the equivalent of 1.24 grand prix victories. Norris would either need his team-mate to retire from a race, or to suddenly sustain a performance drop-off, to bring himself back into play.
