Simplified since it doesn't compare positions if points are equal. This example implements 3 functions that it then uses to calculate its result. .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 11-16 .. code-block:: Python import fastf1 from fastf1.ergast import Ergast .. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 17-20 For this example, we are looking at the 2023 season. We want to know who can theoretically still win the drivers' championship after the first 15 races. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 35-38 We need a function to calculates the maximum amount of points possible if a driver wins everything left of the season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Championship_points_scoring_systems ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 56-62 For each driver we will see if there is a chance to get more points than the current leader. We assume the leader gets no more points and the driver gets the theoretical maximum amount of points. We currently don't consider the case of two drivers getting equal points since its more complicated and would require comparing positions. ..
