Championship standings after the race
|

- Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
gollark: Actual good-faith discussion of facts is... not common.
gollark: A significant amount of the political conversations I've seen just have people throwing random "gotchas" at each other.
gollark: Yes, but that's not what people actually do.
gollark: Slightly, but even that's a stretch.
gollark: Not that you would be it if it did do things. But you're even less obligated.
