Back in 1982 Keke only won one race but he had far fewer retirements than the competition. Still he only just beat Didier Pironi who missed the last 5 of 16 races due to injury.
I think Lewis's winning it last year was pretty underwhelming, as far as racing competition went. Despite Nico winning the last three races of the season, Lewis won it by 59 points and won 10 out of 19 races. It was very one sided and no one could touch him.
