[apologies to Gary Player there]
So you've made this point anyway times, and I've acknowledged that his talent and preparation help create more good luck.

But how exactly does his talent or preparation ir whatever create the safety car not picking up the leader? Or help create the red flag after the restart when he was in second? Or cause bottas' tire to fail at Silverstone closer to pit lane exit and cause him to have to limp around further? Or cause verstappens car to fail after he had just begun overtaking hamilton? There's so many examples of this stuff. It's ok, he can he the best driver and also be very lucky. It would just be nice if all that luck wasn't used as reason to deify him.
