I find that " but could he do it in another team " argument a bit of a head scratcher no matter who its applied to. Part of being great in this sport is putting yourself in the right team at the right time and being surrounded by the right people. its a soft skill unto its self (along with its fair share of luck). He's beaten Lowndes and SVG as team mates to the title, both of which are top level and were strong performers at other teams.
Most importantly, and perhaps most applicable to the " other team " factor is he (and 888 as a whole) did it this year without Ludo. That is the major factor.
Could he do it in a Walkinshaw machine? Circa 2017 id say probably no one could. Circa 2007 id say yes definitely he could / would have.
