Luck wasn't the only factor at play.
Typically, Olivier would qualify somewhere in the middle of the pack.
However, if I recall correctly, his son was born on that Saturday.
Then, during Sunday morning's warm-up session, Olivier clocked the fastest lap.
It was inevitable that he would secure the victory on Sunday.
The weather conditions also played a role, as heavy rain caused numerous collisions.
That single career victory was essentially secured by those specific circumstances.
