In terms of their records in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton's pole on Saturday marked the first time since they became team mates in 2013 that he has got the better of Rosberg in qualifying at Yas Marina - while the only time he has finished ahead here on a Sunday was in 2014, when Rosberg was famously hit with technical issues. He finishes third, and Rosberg finishes outside the top eight.He finishes second, and Rosberg finishes outside the top six.He triumphs, and Rosberg is fourth or lower.Fundamentally, the Briton's hopes can be summarised as: Hamilton, therefore, must finish within the top four to stand any chance of snatching the championship - but even then he needs a helping hand from Rosberg. Hamilton finishes fourth or lower (regardless of where Rosberg finishes).He finishes eighth or higher, and Hamilton is no higher than third The F1 season will conclude in Abu Dhabi on November 26, and, if the Emilia-Romagna GP is rescheduled, will feature a planned, record-breaking 24 races.He finishes sixth or higher, and Hamilton doesn't win.He finishes on the podium in Abu Dhabi (regardless of where Hamilton finishes).A 12-point cushion over Hamilton heading into the weekend gives him a clear advantage, and means the Briton has but a slim hope of denying his team mate a first championship triumph. As the graphic indicates, Rosberg is very much in control of his own fate - the first time the German has ever been in that position.
