Yes Raikennon drove brilliantly to win the title but rode his luck a little. If Hamilton had been pitted one lap earlier in china, he wins the title but small margins decide tight title races.

Also yes Alonso & Hamilton finished on same points but Hamilton came second, presumably because he won more races or had more podiums. Not sure how F1 breaks it down but similar to goal difference in football, there are ways of seperating drivers so yes, Hamilton did beat Alonso.
Well, at least we're talking F1 now. It's a start.

They won 4 races each as I recall. Hamilton got second because he's black.

That was a joke, to trigger Mac.

Of course we then found out that Mclaren had been cheating all along. Lots of strands to that season but, for once, the best man won.
