Neil, did you really said Verstappen had lady luck?
Like Baku, where he was in the lead (and fastest lap if remember right) and his tyre just blew up on the straight while data said it was still fine (yes, Hamilton did not get points either, but he crashed himself that race)?
Maybe Hungary, where he started at front but gets kicked aside when Bottas crashed into Norris and the latter into Verstappen? With result, P10 or something.
Silverstone, how much more space was he suppose to give to Hamilton? Another P1 gone (and win if you consider the sprint race a indicator, which is reasonable). O yes, crashing with 50+ G's does a bit of damage to the car and engine.
I see Black mentioning Spa as giving Verstappen points, but since he was in the front (and looking at the rest it was likely he would win), I say they took half of his points. Took half of Hamilton points as well, be I believe he was third at that point and with first place you loose more.
If Verstappen had lady luck on his side, the season would not be this exciting.
Please, the kid had only some luck in Sochi. If you want I can compare it with Hamilton, who is famous for his luck, but why?
Verstappen is just been better than the rest this year, including Hamilton who is making quite some mistakes. Which car is better depends on the circuit, but I tend to say it equals out this year. Teammate I say Bottas is the better one, although the pit crew from Red Bull is the best. Strategy wise again Red Bull is the better this year.
All and all, luck might help but will never deliver a championship over a year. It is driver, car and team. Always.

Got to have a 27B-6.
