Where will Lewis Hamilton finish in the Brazilian Grand Prix?

Settled as Fifth

http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2008/804/6586/

Background:

Lewis Hamilton is 7 points ahead in the 2008 Formula One Drivers' Championship with one race to go - in Brazil on November 2 2008

He doesn't need to finish first to take the Drivers' Championship but he is very competitive and lost out last year when it was his to win.

Will he go for the win in Brazil - or will he play it safe?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

I should have added that Hamilton needs to finish 5th or higher to guarantee that no matter where others finish he will win the Chapmpionship.

I would suggest the suspend time be moved up for an year and adjusted to the beginning of the race, which is 1700 GMT, 2 Nov; or 12 PM ET (9 AM PST).

@ ianochaye - I wasn't sure until now whether Hamilton could take sixth and still be a lock or not, but since Massa and Hamilton have both won five races and took second in two others, Massa would win the tiebreak if he finished first or second and Hamilton only finished well enough to tie on points. Of course, it would be awfully convenient if Massa failed to get onto the podium. :)
