Even if he did spin 50 times. He was only trying to emulate the biggest fluke win in motorsport (Even bigger than Paul Morris winning Bathurst), which was Hamilton's 08 Monaco win.

As ordinary Massa was that day. It wasn't as dumb as ploughing into a car stationary at a red light. Damn! Hamilton was really, really lucky that year. And now, he has a car which is more superior than what a lot of other champs have had in comparison. Very lucky.
Well, I just remember he spun about 5 times in something like the first 4 laps. I think that is a record by itself to be honest. I think you are exaggerating by calling Masaa ordinary that day. He was far from ordinary. He wasn't even at the level of an F1 driver that day. So should the WDC really hold the record for the worst drive of the year? I don't think so. In fact, I think to be a WDC you should be up there with the best all the time. Having an off race one can deal with, but having a drive that embarrasses yourself? That's definitely not something worthy of a WDC. That race in Silverstone was so embarrassing that it is reason enough for Hamilton to deserve the WDC.

I don't remembe the red light incident of Monaco however, so if you've a video feel free to post it. Otherwise, I'm sure I have that race recorded somewhere at home and can look at it. I wouldn't call it luck that Hamilton is in the top car now. He made a calculated decision on where he was going and it paid off. It's a result of a lot of hard work. It's not just by chance that Hamilton has won a race every year he has been in F1, it's simply because he is the best at getting the most out of a car along with Alonso.
