“Max” is current points plus everything left to win. A rider is out once their maximum can’t reach the leader’s current total. Points: 25 points for a Grand Prix win and 12 for a sprint win, so 37 a weekend, per MotoGP's points explainer.

“Lead needed” is how far ahead Marquez must be after that race to be champion. The earliest clinch assumes Marquez wins everything and Martin scores nothing; a tie on points goes to countback, so the lead has to be bigger, not equal.
