you are correct. 7 point lead 6 avaliable in 1-2's
I look at it this way, barring a downpour Brazil should be a ferrari 1-2, that would mean a 3rd place for Lewis gives him a 3 point cushion to cover in China and Japan. If it were to finish on a tie for points, right now Massa has 5 victories to Lewis' 4. that means should Massa take the win in Brazil Lewis would have to win China and Fuji to tie victory numbers, and I believe he'd win the title based on 2nd places. (take into account thats going on the fact that results go the way of a tie obviously. say a dnf for Lewis.
For me the only concern is Fuji, in the dry they were as quick as the mclarens last year, but it's likely to be rain. China, Ferrari are always quick round. And Brazil seems to be Massa's track.
