the king should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I could understand the critism if he was a complete chump, but on the evidence of this season that clearly isn't the case.
What evidence would that be? If you look at his results for the whole season, as published in Autosport this week, he finished in the last 3 in every race if you discount those drivers that had additional pitstops. The 1 exception was the Knockhill feature. His "amazing" podium in race 1 was courtesy of the fact that everyone in front of him went off. The only driver behind him that hadn't pitted was Reid and he had 2 trips into the gravel.

Rnd 1.3/8 2.rtd 3.11/13 4.9/10 5.13/14 6.rtd 7.11/12 8.rtd 9.9/10 10.rtd 11.rtd 12.rtd 13.rtd 14.8/12(Reid, Owy and Bennett pitted twice) 15.10/12 16.7/13 17.12/12 18.10/13 19.12/13 14.rtd

If you look at actual points scored the only driver he finished in front of was Carl Breeze, who gave him a 12 point start and finished with 11 points less! I will say though that he wasn't a chump at Knockhill in the feature.
