he drove a very competitive season and some races he was quite clearly the best car/driver/team combo out there. his barcelona races were a good example - he did exactly what he needed to and kept ricciardo at bay. but imo if guerrieri hadn't had that motorland fail and missed hungary because of the whole cracked tub drama then he'd have been champion.
aleshin certainly wasn't an undeserving champion, but perhaps not the one you'd have expected to come out of that season! for me wickens was the same in 2011 - call me a fangirl but i really thought vergne was going to take it. but wickens produced the goods when required, and that's what a champion does.
