It's hard to believe that Helio has never won the title, and as such, he would definitely be a deserving champion "sooner or later". Given that he has found legendary glory already at the Indy 500, I wouldn't feel too bad if he never accomplishes the title feat, however.
Likewise, Will "should" have been champion a couple times already, and is arguably the best driver in the series... with the tendency to occasionally have a major brainfart, that usually costs him dearly. I'm never really very happy when he wins, but I feel terribly sorry for him when he loses. Weird. For that reason, it would be great to see him finally win what was so narrowly denied before.
RHR is a very accomplished all-rounder that would also be very deserving to win the title yet again, but given that he already did win it, as well as the 500, I'd prefer someone else to take it - someone who hasn't yet.
I'm really pulling for Simon Pagenaud - I consider him up there with Will Power, and if he was driving a real top car, he could well be the best of them all. I hope he pulls off the underdog title win against the big Penske, Andretti and Ganassi guys.
If not him, a comeback title for JPM would be awesome, too. Would make for a great story, and additional publicity for IndyCar with the NASCAR connection there.
Dixon was awesome last year and really deserved it, but this year hasn't been quite that sharp. Maybe another season. And he's had plenty, too.
Whatever happens, it promises to be an interesting conclusion!!
PS: why not Sato?
