Looking at the line up, this is how I see the race (from Lewis' perspective) being:

14 Jean-Eric Vergne 17 Toro Rosso-Ferrari 1:23.265

Not easy to pass; Felipe will be obstructive, a matter of pride and team orders
16 Felipe Massa 6 Ferrari 1:23.444
17 Bruno Senna 19 Williams-Renault 1:24.981
Should pass all of these easily
18 Vitaly Petrov 21 Caterham-Renault 1:25.277

23 Narain Karthikeyan 23 HRT-Cosworth 1:31.122
Needs help from the baby Jesus, going that way ^^^^^
24 Lewis Hamilton 4 McLaren-Mercedes 1:21.707
EDIT:
Since Lewis is 0.5sec faster on a lap than the nearest person (Maldonado), over the 66 laps, he may, with luck, get to the top 8.
Any better than that, and the boy has done well.
