If Button doesn't deserve it, no-one does. You might complain that he hasn't shown a champion's drive of late, but nobody has made a case for them being a champion themselves. At least Button has had six wins in seven races; no-one else comes close. When he left Monaco, Button had a sixteen-point lead. Now that he's in Brazil, he's got sixteen on Vettel and fourteen on Barrichello, and regardless of what happen, he's guaranteed to have a four-point lead going into Abu Dhabi. He's led the championship all season, and no-one has been within striking distance.
So how exactly is somebody else more deserving?
) he wins it, it'll be almost the ultimate underdog triumph in sporting history - tempered only by the fact there's just 10 teams and 24 drivers to date this year.
