Or they were Peugeot. 
Remember those years races when Audi beat others despite having a slower car. Imagine what happens if someone runs like that, but all the cars are pretty equal. |
I said all of this earlier when I reply to him/her.
And you are absolutely right there is no other clear way to explain it. There are tons of variables that leads a team to be competitive or unbeatable! And Toyota had all of them during the race as opposed to Ferrari had the speed, but lacked the strategy, the driver experience in this type of class, the tire management on their car and list goes on.
