Consistent podium finishes help the case of all title aspirants. Even if a win is not within grasp during a particular weekend, scoring a podium can boost their tally of points. Sebastian and Lewis, both, know the value of getting the best result they can for a specific Grand Prix. With four world championships under their belt each, they would have experience for the same.

It explains why Lewis holds thirteen podiums to his name this season while Vettel has stood on one ten times. With sixteen races done and dusted, those are impressive numbers and come to the decider, the points from the top three positions will surely rack up to tip the scales in the favour of one of them.

Coincidentally, the duo has been among the top three without winning the Grand Prix, five times each throughout the year.
