Title math

points clear of Russell
Catch math uses a win at 25 points and ignores sprints, so the real window can run a little wider.
Antonelli can clinch the title in Mexico City if, after Sunday, his lead over Russell stays above 100 points — that is, unless Russell outscores him by 23 points or more this weekend.
