Exactly right. That's the first thing I thought of when she won. I knew that would be the first thing brought up by the haters.
I'm by far NOT a fan of hers. I think she whines and her attitude flat out sucks at times. A guy throws some of the temper tantrums she has, he's out on his ass. I've seen some 2 year olds act more grown up than she has at times. However, she won the race. Fuel can play a part and did in this case. I have nothing against her (meaning if a girl won every race so be it) other than I think she could grow up a little bit when dealing with bad luck. Every driver goes through it and the good ones deal with it. Maybe a win will do some good and she can deal with the bad better.
