2018 It was the 16th race of the championship with Bottas out of the championship hunt and Vettel closing in on Hamilton in the title.
As I’ve said, Russia never sat well with me, but there was a far bigger outcry over 2002 quite rightfully, If you can’t see the difference, I suggest you remove the blinkers

No need to be like that, it doesn't make your point anymore valid.
Going into the 2018 Russian GP Lewis had 281 points and Vettel had 241, 40 points difference. Going into the 2002 Austrian GP, Schumacher had 44 points and Montoya had 23, 21 points difference. However the points system was different in 2002, with 10 points awarded for the win, not 25 as now.
