It's funny, when people ask if he's only won things because of the car, it reminds me of when people ask if Pep only won because of the teams he managed.
I mean obviously he needs the car. But the car needs him too. That's how it works.
I posted this in the F1 thread about Hamilton the other day, I think it's an apt comparison to the obvious situation we have here.
Of course we all know that, but I imagine there are some lurking non-City fans in a bit of denial.
