Driver of the year has to be decided on what you have achieved... not what you *might* have achieved with a better car.
That doesn't mean that the world champion is automatically driver of the year - there is a very strong case to call Kimi driver of the year for 2003 - driving an update of the previous year's car and certainly not the most powerfull engine on the grid, he was still in the running for the championship right up to the last race.
But in my opinion, for 2004, he simply hasn't completed enough laps for us to be in a position to judge. Not Kimi's fault, but we can't simply call him driver of the year out of sympathy.
