based on that logic, Schumacher debatebly didnt "deserve" most of his WDC's either, no doubt Ferrari had the best car in many of those seasons
its not just about the car, Barrichello was in the same car and came 3rd behind Vettel, 20 or so points behind Jenson
of course having the right car is a major factor, but its never a gurantee of anything, plenty of drivers have driven for top teams and done awfully, to say anyone didnt "deserve" there title is incredibly harsh and if its based on that logic, its also ignorant.
you can argue that he wasnt as good when he won it, but thats a different thing entirely from saying he didnt deserve it. I would probably agree with that also as Brawn did have the best car at the start of the season, though as I said, Jenson still had to get it to work for him, which Barrichello didnt do as well as he did.
I should point out that one of Alonso's wins since rejoining Renault was fixed by his team...but yes, your point is good, good drivers get results with less than outstanding cars.
