"Most" being the operative word. Alonso and Hamilton have both done a better job this year.
Alonso has had his fair share of luck too!! Hamilton rather the opposite.
And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

As we covered earlier in this thread, relative to Vettel, Alonso has lost about 60-70 points. Hamilton about 200-220.

I think he's eaten his tyres anyway. He's losing rear grip and time now.

I think we can all agree, from all the title contenders, Lewis has had the worse luck. vettel has had the best luck. Alonso in the middle along with Kimi, Webber & Button.

Yep, quite. 2 stupid crashes, a lot of safety car luck, and one overtake. Jammy bastard.

Now lets hope the Tv channels make more of Lotus winning than Vettel's podium.

You mean season overall, I don't think so. Alonso is driving the bullet proof car....

What a thrilling race. Absolutely brilliant.

But not greasjean proof. Alonso had a big chunk of bad luck at and subsequently to spa. Vettel has had exactly one bad luck incident all year – the engine blow up in Valencia, and now a very large dollup of good luck cancelling out a lot of that.
