Re: Champion elimination alternative championship
To no one's surprise, Russell takes his tenth win of the season in France. Norris is second and Ocon third, though both are really starting to fall out of contention. Only six drivers made it to the finish, though Zhou was also classified. Fastest lap goes to Russell. 2022 (After twelve races): Russ...
