Yes, but it would also have been a result of bad luck for Michael.
Don't get me wrong, I think Kimi and JPM are both fantastic drivers, but I don't think that they've shown themselves to be "greats". Yes, they could potentially win the WDC, but it would be in a year where Michael had unusually bad luck.
I loved the way Montoya forced his way past Michael at the Nurburgring, and I loved the way Kimi pushed Michael off at turn 1 in Australia. But it took courageous moves for them to beat MS, whereas MS can just disappear off into the distance time after time, without needing to engage in courageous moves himself.
Personally, I don't like MS, but I appreciate his driving.
