Assuming the RBR and AMG cars are equal in performance, it's simple maths. If the RB13 wins half the races, with the RBR boys taking equal wins (and points) off each other, while HAM wins the other half of the races, with the other podium positions also shared equally between the 3 of them, HAM will win the WDC. I don't believe BOT will be a factor, and will not bother RIC, VES and HAM if the RB13 and W08 are equal in performance.

Now if RBR was to give one driver priority, say RIC, and instruct VES to let RIC finish ahead, and VES to finish ahead of HAM, then RIC could well be WDC. Just like the good old Schumacher/Ferrari days. Remember those days, when F1 was so boring and so predictable? Aah.. those were the days.
