And when you post BS like this, it's a bit difficult to take your argument seriously.

Hmm, yeah. I guess I was meaning the general tendency MS had of pushing his luck with the rules, and the controversy that was never far away from him etc. My bad if the winning of the race in the pitlane doesn't qualify as his doing, so to speak.

Ah, got you now. Well, it could still be a different situation if he returned, since those times when he cracked still involved the extra pressure he had when fighting for a Championship; things would probably be much more relaxed in that sense, as he'd be going into the season with no guarantee of Merc being that competitive. But your point is a very good one.
