He might be driving the fastest car, but he will have beaten Lewis (who many rate as the fastest guy out there at the moment) so no he will not be the least deserving - quite the opposite actually.

You have no basis to say this. Rosberg has 9 wins against Hamilton's 7 wins so far this year. Yes, Rosberg may have been helped sometimes by Hamilton's bad luck. But there is no way we can deny how many perfect and flawless weekends Nico had this year. Rosberg may not have Hamilton's natural talent, but Nico is a very dedicated and "technical" driver who works his ass off every weekend to deliver the best result he can.
If you want to talk about the least deserving WDC win in the recent times, I think we need to recall 2013. Red Bull had the fastest car by a long shot and continued developing it through the season, while the rest of its competition gave up pretty much mid-summer. Vettel didn't have much competition from within or from outside of the team. Webber often struggled to even win his second place. On the other hand, there is a legitimate competition going on between Hamilton and Rosberg, and I hope it will go on to the final race of the season.

His father Keke was sometimes considered the least deserving champion of all time.
Because many others were considered for the title: Reutemann, Villeneuve, Pironi, Prost, Watson...
Despite Keke conquered more victories after he was F1 Champion in 1982.

It may have a Merc logo on it, but l don't think we could call those cars equivalent. If one car is running smoothly and the other is dogged with all manner of problems, it is like a boxer having one hand tied to his back and taking on a Heavy weight fight. There is nothing equivalent about that.
That said, Rosberg would be a very deserving Champion considering that he lost a 43 points lead and was 19 points behind at one point but managed to turn it around to a 33 points lead with the help of a DNF and other problem for Hamilton of course. But one still has to cross the line first to win which he did with some quite superb drives actually.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 28th October 2016 at 00:14.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
