Trulli had the fortune of Bridgestone tires, in a race where Michelin were clearly off the pace, and a one stop strategy, in a race where the first lap turned that into the best option. In terms of the finishers, the only upset was that he beat a clearly off pace Alonso. Compare that to Fisichella who, on Michelin and in a car that Alonso couldn't get to work, was almost able to match Ferrari and their Bridgestones. Or Massa who honestly beat Schumacher fair and square but chose to be a good 2. driver and let him win. Seriously.
