Its never over til its over of course with sport & the numerous examples just in F1. but you would say the title fight is as good as dead because Albon needed pole to take deficet to 33 & outqualify his rival. To maintain any realistic prospect of a title challenge but hes 7th & with russell on pole
with a 41pt lead with effectively 40pts remaining. Russell can afford 2 DNFs still be f2 champ. providing albon set a both fastest lap + win both sprint & feature. But even if that unlikely event a fastest lap from russell or 8th would see it sorted
