At any point any one of them will have a slightly better car than the others or the car will be more reliable or the team will have a better strategy but at the end of the day, you need to have the right combination of all of these variables at the right time to capitalize. Newey is the best car designer but Ferrari and McLaren certainly has the resources to build an equally competitive car. It's a stretch to say that it's a one man show over there. There is no team in the paddock with as many advantages as Ferrari so I really don't see how anyone can give RBR a hard time with Ferrari as the victim...
Well put.
