For Hamilton to be champion at the United States GP, the following permutations apply:
If Bottas does not take victory, then Hamilton will be champion regardless of where he finishes the race
If Bottas does win the race (25pts), with or without a fastest lap (1pt), Hamilton will be champion if he finishes eighth (4pts) or higher
If Bottas wins with no fastest lap, Hamilton will be champion if he finishes ninth (2pts) with a fastest lap (1pt)
