If Power doesn't finish 5th or better, Pagenaud takes it as long as he shows up for the race, so even if Simon drops out in the first lap, Will would still have to finish at least 5th to win the championship. If there turns out to be a tie and Power doesn't win or come 2nd, then Pagenaud gets the championship based on having one more 2nd place finish during the season (both have 4 wins).
Thanks very much for that.

The odds are in Pagenaud's favour but as we saw last year, the outcome can be different.
