Hamilton is on 316 points, Rosberg on 292. If Hamilton wins in Brazil and Rosberg DNF's, Hamilton will be 49 points ahead.
Since the last race is double points (stupid, stupid, stupid rule), Rosberg could still win in the above scenario if Hamilton was to DNF in Abu Dhabi and Rosberg won.
The only reason that the stupid double points is there is cause the end of the F1 season wouldn't be exciting enough if it already was decided who won a few races ahead of the last one... Sadly there's only a few people who decide on such things and this way they will get alot more $$$$$$$... Pretty much how it works in every sport sadly.. *cough 2022 WC soccer in Qatar *cough*

Uhh... The only reason that rule is in because whoever owns the Yas Marina circuit slipped Bernie a nice little cheque for a few million $ in his birthday card, masqueraded under 'the excitement of the final race'.
Nobody wants double points, nobody even wants Abu Double as the last track on the calendar, not even the teams. This season so far has been amazing, and it could all be ruined by Abu Double.
