If it weren't for him getting taken out in Spa and Japan he'd be champion right now, but what's done is done.

You're kidding right? Worst. logic. ever.
To quote Gary Anderson:
"Alonso did have some bad luck in crashing out in Japan and Belgium when it was not his fault. But Vettel had two alternator failures in races. OK, they are things the team have influence over but
he still lost as many races as Alonso.
Equally, Red Bull allow their drivers to race early in the season, whereas Ferrari have a defined number one. If you take Red Bull and give Vettel their big points from every race, Vettel thrashes Alonso comprehensively."
Alonso lost the title long before Brazil. Vettel won out of sheer determination.
