Good luck consists of a driver being at the right place at the right time, or he's out of luck ! He has to drive to that right place on the track. Oh and a little luck in the pit helps too ! All that complaining from almost everyone about the tires, it's plain amazing how Lewis managed to get the fastest lap on his hard tires with 32 laps done on them ! He decided not to pit. Good luck for sure!

Shouldnt have said Dominant, but you are right, it wasn’t dominant in 2017. Neither was it in 2018, but it was at least as good as Mercedes, but wend wrong in their development and that is where Mercedes made a difference. Vettel would have been champion in both years if he didnt make the mistakes. But lets hope they found a solution and can battle for wins more often. But
Brembo, I have enjoyed reading your posts (and mostly agreed with them) for several years now. I was also a Rubens fan for the reasons I believe you are. However, what's up with all of your Hamilton love as of late? Fastest lap on hards says more about how well the Merc/Pirelli relationship works than it does about Hamilton having Senna skills. Don't forget, on all out 1 lap pace, even Bottas has proven that he can be faster than Hamilton. And it's happened enough to not simply be a fluke fast lap, or a fluke Hamilton error.

Bottas wants to beat Lewis every race, and Merc lets him go at it. When Lewis wins he has something to do with it . Bottas also has a great car. His 6th win @ his home track was a great win for him. I am a F-1 fanatic ! I love the races. Whatever is the reason , it's a race for a podium spot in 2019. It's not Ferrari holding 1st place and the WCC . I wish it was but F-1 is still going on and there's the other podium spots for now. Last race for me was great to watch. Lewis is at least as good as the other top drivers, no more , no less, , even though he's cursed with that top car. When Ferrari comes back with the top car and it's in Charles' hands and he rules as Lewis does now, will he be looked at as just lucky to be in the top car but can't drive worth a dump? That fastest lap was Lewis' choice to stay out and do it on those 32 lap old hard tires. I give him credit for getting it done, nothing more. I believe Ferrari is still alive in every race with the likes of Charles doing all he can with what he has.
Those names are in fact all equal winners; and would be evenly matched if as you say were in equal cars. It looks like Honda is going all out as far as spending on their F-1 venture. They are a big time Corp. money wise, and no need to stress how much R Bull has to spend. Ferrari needs to calm down with drivers pay; unless they deserve it at seasons end. Spend it on more food lunch time for the crew and drivers! Better results will come immediately!
