Well, JV is a very bitter old man, I think. He had the best moments in his career very early and then faded. Now nobody remembers him, but the hardcore fans and their opinion of his WDC is not very high. Personally I think that JV was a good driver, not a great one, but consistent and with a "never give up" attitude - especially in the early years of his career. But his years in BAR, I think, broke him, made him slow, bitter and, frankly, pathetic. I also think that his skill decreased and in the end he was a slow midfield driver. I also think that if he returns to F1 now, he will be extremely and excruciatingly slow.
About Kimi, I think that he deserved his championship. He was very fast in the end of the 2007 season, won more races than either Lewis, Alonso or Massa and showed the right attitude - kept his head down and let the driving do the talking, even when Felipe was faster (in mid-season). This was a stark contrast with the burning arrogance, which Hamilton demonstrated right from the start of his career and the bitterness of Alonso, who simply couldn't believe that a rookie can match him, let alone defeat him.
So I think that in 2007 that the best man won. Same about 2003, BTW - Kimi was very consistent and fast that season, but MS was relentless and in Indianapolis showed why all feared him in the rain.
