Then you're reading the sentence incorrectly. In the setting of the prior sentence, it refers to who wins the WC and the reference to racer is based on your own "I'm an ex-racer". The winner (or who's left standing in business) of the WC doesn't have to be the fastest (remember Senna in a Lotus?) just the fastest finisher the most times.

What is this? The Factor?

Since Yoda said it first, I'll go with the quote rather than then "new, improved" version.
