I thought I would start a thread to show elimination numbers after each race. I always find this visualizes well for me how much work each driver has to do to take the WDC (spoiler: pretty much impossible for anybody not driving a Merc). The elimination number is the gap each driver has to the points leader, minus the number of points still on the table. After each race, subtract both the number of points scored by the current points leader *and* the number of points below the maximum 26 scored by that driver from their number. When a driver's elimination number goes negative, they are mathematically eliminated from contention.

Table of elimination numbers after Singapore with 156 points still on the table:
