Both were fighting to get their hands on their first WDC! Who clearly deserves it more: The 2-time runner-up or the rookie and why? Congrats to Raikkonen!

Hands down Kimi. He didn't choke, he fought hard again and again, plus he has more experience and credibility. Kimi deserves it more.

In a way both men deserve it. Kimi came out of no where at the end to win it. Kimi won the most races and like a lot of comentators and people say he is the best driver in F1 now.
Lewis was fairly consistent at the begining but messed up at the end. Possible pressure from Alonso messing with his head?

For me, I'll say Kimi Raikkonen. After so many failed attempt, due to bad luck, he really deserves it. He's been really fighting hard for it, but his car was either too slow and when it was fast, it kept blowing up.
His win was really impressive, he out of the three driver had the lowest chance of winning it, but he kept his head in the game and came out on top.
Now he is champion can retire as a happy man. Unless he is looking to break more records.

The driver who driver better than others is the best. In 2007, Hamilton and Rakkinen were exceptional. Alonso had a tough luck through the season. In my opinion, Lewis Hamilton deserves 2007 Formula 1 World Driver's Title. But this is not enough to make a guess on who will win. Please read my answer for this question before you start reading below.

I must say, its not a miraculous victory, its a predecided victory. Hamilton has been paid 100s of millions of dollars to throw away the crown. He was denied a victory coz he has many years to achieve it. This is the story. I don't know whether you will agree with it or not but this is the bitter truth. We'll see a similar scenario in 2008. Wait and see!!

Easily it's Kimi. All he did is win races and finish races down the stretch. Lewis took two big gambles when he didn't need to (staying out too long on intermediates in China and trying to pass Alonso on the outside at Brazil).
The championship was Lewis' for the taking and he didn't play it smart.

The championship was decided on track. Whoever won it yesterday deserve it.
In this case, Kimi won it.
Of course, Ron Dennis has a different ideology, and so he's appealing the steward decision not to punish Williams and BMW for the fuel temperature thing
Now we have to wait till the final decision is out...

Kimi. He didn't make any mistakes and he won fair and square. Plus, he's been maintaining a professional attitude, never commenting on his teammate or the team. He almost won twice before but didn't due to reliability issues and bad luck which he had no control over. Lewis could've won it but he just messed up.

Kimi.
With all due respects to Hamilton's skill and McLarens hardware, Hamilton almost had it in the bag in Shanghai. Instead of behaving sensibly, he went for glory, lost in the last two races. Kimi kept his head and in case you havent noticed, he gained 18 points on Lewis in the last two races and that is massive, thats phenomenal.
Kimi did it when it mattered most, he fought impossible odds. He deserves it.
