Totally... NOR got lucky 3 times - with the bollard and ensuing damage to Max, and then the safety car from KMag (who was acting like a motorcycle gang member). Then cherry on top, the safety car missed picking him up and got VER instead affording Lando a 30 sec gap or so for a free pit stop.
But he had the speed as he showed later (despite a damaged redbull) and he would have won a couple races by now if not for sheer back luck (Sochi, and was it Monza where he was not allowed to pass ricciardo?).
To me that was definitely a bit lucky but also fully deserved...he's talented.
Will be interesting to see how that upgrade delivers for the rest of the season ! My only issue is for some reason I do not like Zack Brown (strikes me as a car/carpet salesman) and he's gonna be insufferable if they start winning
