My point is they *make* it the right place at the right time. It's not really luck, it's one of the unsung skills of being a top driver.

The fact that Ferrari was a pile of poo before Schuey arrived is a case in point. He worked with Todt to bring in the right people to make it work. Which is what makes him greater than Alonso IMO. Alonso seems to divide a team, Schumacher brought out the best in it.
