Neither is really deserving of the World Championship, because neither are the best drivers.
I reckon that Alonso and Kubica are better drivers.
What does the World Championship mean anyway, when a driver like Sterling Moss never won it, whereas Piquet won it 3 times?
If you ignore lewis' stupid mistakes, which can to some degree be put down to his age i.e. lack of patience and newness in the top flight, then he has been the most consitently performing driver pretty much for two seasons. Also if he can make these mistakes yet still score enough points to be WC against the best drivers in the world then surely he deserves the crown.
Personally I would much rather watch a season where mistakes are made and the championship remains tight than one driver dominating from the outset and closing it out 3 races from the end.
