Only two drivers - Mercedes AMG teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg -- still have a mathematical chance of winning the 2014 Formula 1 drivers' World Championship in Abu Dhabi this weekend. Let's review all the possibilities for each of them.
The “easiest” way for Briton Hamilton to clinch his second world title is to finish Sunday's race in first or second place.
With the double points rule that prevails for this final race of the season, Rosberg must finish ahead of his teammate. However, if Rosberg wins the race, Hamilton has to finish third or lower for the German to take the crown.
Here is the points' possibility chart with the current standings and the points awarded for each position.
