I suppose you are right. It took alot of work to get there, but ultimately what decided the championship was when it rained.
There were a lot of factors leading to that race that you could argue effected the championship, but in the end it was weather (the worlds biggest variable?) that it came down to.
It was not lucky that they got where the were, but luck (bad or good) played a huge part in the result.
I am not saying it was lucky that Ferrari and Mclaren built good enough cars, I am saying it was lucky or equally unlucky that rain came at the moment. For that given point in time, luck was decider.
Anyway, he seems to be on his way up. Was not a bad race in Canada, showed promise and that's what matters at this stage.
