Normally the title of drivers and manufactures "comes togheter", but the drivers one is more important, FIA money is shit comparing with marketing-sponsors, not only the Santander. If not, its stupid the strategy of team orders, favoritism (based on points after races) etc

Its all about business, Alonso brought Santander sponsorship to McLaren and Ferrari...didn't happened in Renault because of ING conflict....
I'd guess the bank stayed with McLaren because of "british market" or somewhat....
Yes...normally WDC and WCC comes together...however if the points are evenly distributed together like RBR....the WDC is still up for grab....
or....if one driver performed worse than the #1 driver (McLaren 2008....WCC went to Ferrari)...one team will win WCC and the driver from other team will win WDC....
