RACE STORY
Antonelli's dominant win at Suzuka was the chalk pick for most of the room (7 out of 8 P1 votes), but that didn't stop a four-way tie at the top—Jon, Lynne_Chan, FozzieB, and Ian all nailed two exact finishes and two close calls for 12 points each. The real story was how bunched up the rest of the field got: everyone else landed exactly one exact finish, meaning the difference between 12 and 8 points came down to who had the other four spots sorted. Russell sneaking into the top 5 (P4) was the day's only real curveball.
