Odds Favor Lewis Hamilton winning F1 Title in Brazil

Are you ready for the mother of all F1 finales?

I don't know about you but I dig Formula One. And boy, the 2007 F1 season sure has been the best year of any kind of racing I've seen so far. The worst one? Horses. But that's not what I'm trying to stress here.

Yes, the 2007 F1 world championship will be decided in the final race of the season. That's the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix this Sunday as three drivers, McLaren - Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso try to win it for their team while Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari tries to snatch it away from both of them.

Sure, Lewis Hamilton, who still leads the F1 drivers' championship standings with 107 points, probably made life a little more difficult for him in the title chase after crashing out of the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix. However, the odds are still in his favor and if no similar mishap happens to the young British sensation, he'll become the first ever rookie to become champion in Formula One.

''I will approach the race in the same way, to win,'' Lewis Hamilton says. ''Some part of my mind will be focused on the end result, winning the world championship not the race, but I go to win. I understand the position I'm in and what I have to do. I aim on finishing on the podium and know I can't take risks. Maybe I took a risk at the last race.''

''I've got a lot of confidence in myself. It has to be a hard hit knowing the world championship was there and I didn't take it but it's still there to win. In spite of having a DNF in China I'm still in the lead and I've still got a good chance of winning so I'm feeling pretty cool as I'm in the best position to do that.''

''I'm mentally stronger after the weekend in China. Some drivers would be on the back foot, but I've taken the negatives and made them into positives.''

Lewis Hamilton only needs to finish better than Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen to win the F1 title or see both of them finish no better than 5th place.
