Karma often gets quoted in these situations.
"Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and bad rebirths."
I'm a Lewis fan. I think his intent is good. Sure, he competes. So does Max. That's why this season has been eye-catching.
I should point out I'm not religious, so may have misunderstood Karma.
I think the fact that F1 is fiercely competitive means seemingly insignificant deviations from 'a normal race' can throw everthing up in the air. And were it all lands is a bit of lottery. Hence today and as TraderPat highlighted the Timo Glock scenario.
The trick is to be totally dominant.
But what F1 fan want's one team to dominate. I'd like the FIA to try harder to close the field up TBH.
