Former WDC Jacques Villeneuve contends that Kimi Raikkonen’s 2007 WDC crown with Ferrari was more lucky than deserved.

 “If Kimi won the championship, he did it by luck, because he didn't deserve it,” said Villeneuve to Brazilian website TotalRace. However, he had high praise for Felipe Massa and believed the Brazilian would have been a more worthy champion. “Felipe deserved it a lot more. He was always more capable than Kimi and it was easy to beat him,” he said

Continuing in the same vein about Massa, he said he did not have any doubt regarding his speed and had trouble understanding the criticism he faced. “He (Massa) has the speed. He is capable of driving strongly, working in the car. I don't have any doubt about that. But he needs to do even more, because it's Alonso's team, which is normal, given that he is a double world champion. That's the logic. If your team-mate is a double world champion, it's normal that the team will focus on him.

“He has won races and almost a championship, maybe two. He's a great driver. Right now he is driving strongly for Ferrari. I don't get people who criticize him.”

Well, it looks like Massa has someone in his corner, for sure…
