I think each is worthy for sure. All but Hmailton are champion. Seabass won it 4 times straight which is a Champ Car record. Kimi got his first even with all the things that had to go JUST right so it was a miracle title win. Hamilton just came out and dominated which was a HUGE suprise to everyone. It's easy to make a case for them all that's for sure. I think it should be one of the ones on my list OR, and I hate to say it, JJ for his NASCAR title. Since he won it last year I doubt it will be him though.

Yeah i think he has a great chance of winning. He wraped up the championship. Then went on to win his home event, then Malaysia and second in Valencia. He done a great job and won the champoionship in style
