When we become too predictable at doing well what we normally do, we and others can become complacent and a bit blase about it.
It is like, 'well, no surprise there, it was, after all, expected.' Sentiments which, if you like, can and does take away something from what is still a real achievement for the person/s who keep putting in these winning performances.
All of which could be applied to Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes, in their continuing winning performances as we approach the last 3 races of the 2017 Formula 1 Season.
Lewis put in another sterling performance to place Car 44 on Pole at the end of the Qualifying Session at the Austin Circuit on Saturday, with his Team Mate, Valtteri Bottas, coming in at P.3.
A Very Big Congratulation, Lewis, Team Mercedes, Bottas, and Sebastian Vettel and Team Ferrari, for having placed yourselves on the Qualifying Podium.
Hamilton was mightily pleased with taking Pole, on a track for which he has a lot of respect and love.
Which probably means that he finds it to be more akin to enabling him to plug his bio-psychic rhythm and pulse into.
He is able to, as it were, more easily or with less difficulty, become at or as if he were at one with the Austin Circuit, and it, personified, becoming at one with him and his Car and Team.
Notwithstanding Hamilton's love and respect for Circuit Austin, it is not a track without significant challenges.
As, considering some of the incidents taking place during the Practice and Qualifying sessions, it would appear that some of the bends and breaking zones have a tendency to present themselves deceptively to the drivers.
Leading them on to trying things which are more difficult than they might appear to be. Or to daring them into carrying out manoeuvres which, once committed to, must be followed through, come what may.
But now, for today's United States Grand Prix, it is what Lewis, Valtteri, Sebastian and all the other racers and their respective teams can achieve, which will really counts.
Who will win at Austin, who will be P.2 and P.3, et al? Which really matters.
To be continued.
