If Rosberg wins the WDC this year..

If you subtract Kimi from the 2007 equation, it's actually a more similar situation to now. Bitter team-mate rivalry and all! In 2007 Hamilton led Alonso by 12 points with 2 races to go - more than 1 win, proportionally 1.5x bigger than Rosberg's lead over Hamilton now. That lead reduced to zero in the last 2 races.

Yeah but unfortunately McLaren weren't as dominant as Mercedes were then.

I think that RBR can be super competitive in Brazil though. It's going to be interesting to see what happens there. Lewis's only realistic chance is interference from RBR, a mistake from Rosberg or a mechanical failure.
