That looks like a contradiction in terms. If he should have won two championship, are you referring to two other than 2008, or are you saying he should have won 2008 easier than he did and the other one is presumably 2007? To say he should have won 2007 is to miss the point that his season was startling and couldn't have got much better. Unlike many seasons where people somewhat lazily put the failure to seal a championship down to final race woes, his 2007 was so good that it's easier to pinpoint the moments where it went wrong. One was definitely China, where it made zero sense to leave him out rather than pitting him.
