Robert Kubica and Fernando Alonso
Lucky isn’t it that the WDC is not elected
It is a good thing the best driver is still determined on the race track by scoring the highest points rather than getting the most votes. I mean, Times voted Alonso, now you guys vote Kubica – don’t you see there must be something wrong in your voting if your method does not produce the same results as the generally accepted technical method as adopted by FIA.
The WDC is heavily influenced by the quality of the driver’s cars and to a lesser extent luck (If the rain had held of for 1 minute longer at the end of the race in Brazil who do you think would be WDC?).
Its perfectly legitimate to speculate who is the most skilled/drove the best races given the car that they we’re in. Lets face it the WDC gave us a man who has trouble with red lights for a champion. Even I can stop at red lights.
