LEWIS HAMILTON is on the brink of winning a joint-record seventh F1 World Championship this weekend. Hamilton already leads Bottas by 85 points so if he outscores his Finnish rival this weekend, the race to title supremacy is finished. But Hamilton will win it all on Sunday if he comes second and Bottas fails to nab the fastest lap. Should Bottas finish second and obtain the fastest lap, Hamilton only needs to finish fourth. If Bottas ends the day in fourth place, Hamilton can finish in seventh or eighth WITH the fastest lap. Bottas finishing sixth with the fastest lap would allow Hamilton to finish ninth. And a lowly sixth place finish for Bottas would see Hamilton secure his seventh title as long as he finishes in 10th place or higher.
