Possessing zero knowledge about any form of sporting activity could disqualify me from justifiable comment but I find it difficult to see how a driver who wins only 6 of a possible 17 races is considered to be a 'World Champion'. :-/ :-/

I stand to be corrected of course

err...because he gathered more points than every other driver in the world title race? 
lewis won 5 races last year and took the title, raikkonen had 6 wins the year before - just an indication of the healthy competition theres been in the last 3 years 

...that sounds quite reasonable bj but I thought being a champion was about winning an event over others, not a quest to accumulate points :-/ :-/

I'm not creating over this, I just don't get sport - if you are competing surely the aim is to win the event and not participate in such a way that the the points gained assume greater importance than victory?

Aaachhh I've confused myself now :-/ :-/ :-/

Zulu77.  There would be a problem if a different driver won each of the 17 races wouldn't there?  So we need a tie-breaker as with elections.

Thanks Chris I'm getting there - sort of - but it's hard work for me

Or think of it as one big event broken down into 17 stages in different countries in the world  - hence world champion...........your even more confused now,I can tell.
