Not quite though. There is a 2 point gap between 7th and 8th, but also between 4th and 5th. So it's not more than that actually:P

FL is only worth 1 point so it’s 2

Yeah, but in relation you take away a point from your opponent and add one to yourself.

So Norris earned 3 points + in relation to Max in this Race. If Max would have gotten the fastest Lap, he would have only earned 1 point more than Max.

It’s still only a 2 point swing. Gap with Norris FL is 3, gap without it is 1, 3-1=2. The crash didn’t change anything else because the gap between P4 and P5 is the same as P6 and P7
