    Question, for the final race is it only the race winner that gets double points (50 v 25) or does everyone in the points paying position get them?

    Thanks.

    Even if Nico DNF's in Brazil he still has a chance
    as long as Lewis DNF's in Abu Dhabi - Crazy :)

    I wonder if there will be any purposely done "accidents" at the last race...

    why? last race has always been the last race of the season. Wouldn't see why the risk should be higher.

    WCC standings. Take out your competition while still having one other car finish in the points maybe. IDK, I haven't looked at the WCC points and done the math. Just saying.

    Who else can see the possibilities of Hammy dnf'ing in Brazil, letting Rosberg's win give him a 1 point lead? Would Rosberg pull a Prost/Senna Suzuka season finale move?

    I don't see Ham doing this, but Rosberg might.

    Well, I think LH would be more likely to do it... but either one would need more 'motivation' than the current situation. Maybe if one 'DNFs' the other in Brazil, he could retaliate in Abu Dhabi. Interesting scenario. MB has nothing to lose, as the WCC is theirs. And no matter what happens, both MB drivers will end up 1 & 2. But again, if Lewis is smart, he'd stay THE HELL away from Rosberg on both races, finishing a safe 2nd, and taking the title. Of course assuming reliability doesn't rear its ugly head :).
