I really think it was a fluke. I think it was more the car than the driver. Renault was the only fast reliable car that year. Alonso deserved to win, but there were really no comers in 2005. Adn yes, FA was faster than Fisi but I am not sure if that is saying a whole lot.
Kimi tried like hell but his car kept breaking. Ferrari was fumbling around with a horrible chasis and Bridgestone just could not turn out a decent tire. Ferrari's car was so bad in 2005 that they went to the 2004 chasis to develop the 2006 car. Pretending like the 2005 chasis didn't exist.
McLaren seems to have gone in the wrong direction as well and needs to go back to its 2005 chasis and look to 2007. The 2006 car has not proved to be very good and once again the cars are just not reliable.
We all know the team with the biggest budget will not win, look at Toyota. McLaren throwing more money a tthe car will not solve their problems.
I think Alonso won his last Championship. After this past weeks antics I really do not see any team wanting a part of him. I have to wonder if McLaren is having second thoughts as well.
