He is part of a handful of drivers (Jacques Villeneuve, Lewis Hamilton, his son Michael, Jenson Button) who won championships due to having the absolute best car and having all the top mechanics and attention put on him, while the #2 was shoved aside. Ronnie Peterson gets the same car at the same time Mario does and doesn't die at Monza, he wins the championship handily, but Mario was the golden boy and he didn't deserve it in the slightest.

Mario at least paid his dues, but three of the 4 guys I mentioned above did nothing and won with the best car, I hate that shit.

To me, I respect Mario due to his versatility.  Did he have better equipment a lot of the time?  Yes.  But it takes a lot of talent to win in F1, Indy Cars, dirt sprints, endurance racing, the Pikes Peak hill climb, and NASCAR.  I mean, look at  Larson this year at Indy.  Downshifts like a moron in the corner, loses it, and takes a number of others out with him.
