Ahem I seem to remember Mercedes being second in the constructors in 2013 and having the fastest car over one lap for the European part of the season. Mercedes would be winning in the V8 era for sure.
But I still fail to see how that's luck. He joined for the V6 era knowing what they wanted to achieve.
Knowing what they wanted to achieve and what actually transpired is 2 very different things.
I'm sure teams like Jaguar, Toyota, Honda wanted to win things too. They spent a lot, signed big personnel too. It doesn't work that way. You simply cannot control things in future. That surely also isn't linked with how good a driver is.
