If that's the case, surely that proves the championship ultimately doesn't mean that much
It's wrong to compare Moss to Alonso in terms of popularity- Sir Stirling has had 40 years AFTER he was a GP driver to build a reputation, especially in England.

I could guarantee you more people would have heard of Fernando Alonso then say, Alex Yoong or Yuji Ide, or possibly even Jarno Trulli.
