With Verstappen in 1st (and likely to win the driver's imo) and Perez in 8th (and likely to finish ~8th) I found an interesting little fact.
If that happens, he'll have the lowest finish by the teammate of the Drivers champion in 30 years.
In 1994 Schumacher won the driver's with Benetton, while his teammate finished 10th. Schumacher's teammate who finished 10th that year? Jos Verstappen.
In fairness to good old Jos he didn't compete in all the races, but thought that was an interesting bit of symmetry.
