We just have different definition of lucky.. I consider near misses as lucky escapes from certain accident. You consider near miss as null event.. Unlucky is to get caught on them, that much we both agree, i'm sure. Few meters, no nose.. Few meters more and i don't even want imagine what could've happened. If you ask Sebastien, i'm pretty sure he takes that third place with a small prayer to upstairs, having escaped definite DNF and possible injuries.
Massa was faster on straights, Vettel is not a wizard that can conjure 10kph more top speed when needed. Nor a cook It could've been close, that's what i said. We'll never know but i do think that Nico was not coming second without that accident. So he was lucky but unlucky for losing electric motor in the first place.. Luck in one place don't cancel unluck in another, that's not how it works..
@Sun Levi That's what i thought..
Maybe. But he also steered to the right at the last moment, so he clearly saw something in his mirrors, thus helping himself escape what could have been a lot worse.
So, rather be good than lucky, but if you can help it, be both.
