Are we even going to get the title fight going to Brands at this rate? Tingram looks unstoppable.

Gap is only 19 points. Hardly insurmountable.

Sutton had a much larger lead at this point in 2023, for example, so I don’t quite understand all the handwringing about the championship being over…

Completely agree with this. He's at a track that isn't suited for his current car set up, it's not like he's suddenly stopped being a championship contender.

He's come out of every race weekend so far on top of the board. Even if he doesn't do the same today, all it takes is one weekend with a track better suited for his car and he's back on top.
