Kimi and possible WDC under old rules ***possible spoiler***

Under the old points system (10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1), Kimi would be in 2nd place going into Brazil and trailing LH by only 4 points. If Kimi were to win with LH finishing 2nd or worse, Kimi would win the WDC. If he gets 2nd, Lewis can finish 5th or worse and lose the WDC. Finally, if he finishes 3rd and LH DNFs or finishes 7+, Kimi wins it as well. It's just something to keep an eye out for, but I realize teams act differently given points standings so McLaren might not be as conservative in this case, prior races, etc. Just for fun


1. Lewis Hamilton - 87 points
2. Kimi Räikkönen - 83 points
3. Fernando Alonso - 81 points
4. Felipe Massa - 66 points
5. Nick Heidfeld - 32 points
6. Robert Kubica - 16 points
7. Heikki Kovalainen - 12 points
8. Giancarlo Fisichella - 9 points
9. Alexander Wurz - 7 points
10. David Coultard - 7 points
11. Mark Webber - 4 points
12. Nico Rosberg - 3 points
13. Sebastian Vettel - 3 points
14. Jenson Button - 2 points
15. Vitantonio Liuzzi - 1 point
13. Takuma Sato - 1 point
14. Jarno Trulli - 1 point
15. Ralf Schumacher - 1 point

 

Kimi owns the tiebreaker. Kimi has 5 wins vs. Lewis' 4. If Lewis wins the Brazilian GP, meaning they have the same number of wins, Lewis will win because he has more points. If they tie in points, that means Kimi will have at least 1 more win (possibly 2) over Lewis.
