Kimi may not have deserved the championship in 2007 but perhaps did deseve it in '03. Villeneuve meanwhile won in a far superior car against a team mate in his first year at the team. Definitely pots and kettles me thinks.

Jacques first season was in 1996, when he had Damon Hill as a team mate who won the Championship.

I think that Hungary of 1997 proved that Damon was a better driver than Jacques. The only reason Jacques won that race was because Hill's throttle linkage failed. For Hill to make the Arrows sing like that even for one race, I think marks him as a better driver.
Jacques more or less proved that you could put a trained monkey into those Williams and win a World Championship.

For all of Jacques' years at BAR-Honda, did he even score a single win? No? Jensen Button did (sort of - if Honda is/was BAR).
