DJRTP are NOT the fastest team, they haven't been since halfway through the year where T8 caught up. Coulthard is proof of that as he's struggled to even be top 10 lately while JW and SVG are always up front. You can just watch the two and see SM is driving much harder JW is. Do we really need to see JW win what his 300th title? If he does, I bet it will all come down to doing those extra 2 laps at Bathurst that netted him 90 points.
SM: 7 wins, 7 fastest laps, 14 poles.
JW: 3 wins, 1 fastest lap, 2 poles.
It shouldn't even be close in points.

That raises two points;
A) Supercars don't want the best driver to win. They want the most entertaining scenario to play out and whoever wins wins
B) With the difference in wins, poles and fastest laps you are right it shouldn't be close in points...... surely the fact that Scotty is leading the points despite the stats in his favour suggests he doesn't deserve the title?
