"Hamilton's larger number of grand prix victories this season over his team mate meant he took second place in the standings to Alonso's third with the same points,"
This is also wrong. Alonso and Hamilton were tied in victories, it was Hamilton having one more 2nd place finish that placed him ahead of the Spaniard.

It was 5th place finishes IIRC.
As for the Ferrari team business, Kimi was just as deserving of the win as Massa. He was fastest through Q1 and Q2, had Q3 screwed up by Hamilton, and then during the race he clung to Felipe with no trouble, while grabbing fast lap in the process, and putting the pedal down when it counted. He said after the race they both had a lot more speed in the cars, so who is to say who would have won the race in a straight fight.
Regardless of all that, Raikkonen was certainly deserving of the Championship, more so than anyone else in the field in my eyes. He's had at least 2, if not 3, titles stolen from him over the past 4 years, it's about time that his car held together and the breaks went his way for a change.
Congratulations Kimi, enjoy it.
