I agree, but thought Hamilton's move from McLaren to Mercedes for the 2013 season would've used up a careers-worth of luck right there. A competitive McLaren dropped off to near backmarker status as soon as Hamilton left, and a struggling Mercedes quickly rose to dominate the sport right after he joined.
