It's actually impressive how much effort you've put into this post just to defend the honour of your beloved Max, filled with enough hyperbole to power a warp engine, and it's also very selective with regards to what constitutes luck in order to exaggerate, but I'm not gonna argue that stuff because you've spectacularly missed the point - as you've said yourself, the most recent gains due to luck were Max's, and the original post was that Lewis needs that luck to change - nothing to do with previous luck in the season, just that Max had some good luck recently.
As for your comment about Mercedes having better race pace, it's just silly, the Mercs have been behind most of the year, and have only recently managed to get ahead (and it remains to be seen if that was due to the tracks).
Not much right in your post:
1. I am Ferrari fan, not a Verstappen fan
2. I was not selective about what was luck, I could have excluded everything stemming from Lewis taking Max out at Silverstone but I did not.
3. Oh, the Mercs have been behind all year, and yet have a clear lead in the WCC.
The Mercs have been behind all year, but still 99% of all practices and Q sessions have ended:
Hamilton, Verstappen, Bottas in top 3. (in various order)
And then Perez somewhere between place 4 to 10.
So either both Lewis and Bottas have pulled of miracles each practice session or the Merc have not been behind as being claimed by only Lewis fans and the british media. Its much more likely its Verstappen that has made the difference and taken the Red Bull to where it does not belong. See Perez.
Only on a british forum full of Hamilton fans making things up to prop up their beloved Lewis is it possible to get to the conclusion that Red Bull definitely have had the better car, absolutely ridiculous.
The only reason I got involved in this is because I see so much horsecrap posted about the Merc being such underdogs and Red Bull having a car advantage, which is clearly not true.
I do not see that on any north american or scandinavian F1 forums I visit, only on british ones, what a coincidence.
