Of his 13 wins, he's only won 1 where he wasn't first into the first corner, Abu Dhabi 2009 - starting from 2nd.

And 3 have been won where he wasn't on pole, Abu Dhabi 2009, Malaysia 2010 starting 2nd, and Brazil 2010, starting 2nd to Hulkenberg.
No real comeback for the accusation that he's had it easy is there.
