'There are times when we are not the best on a given day, but, if we continue to perform to the best of our ability, should fate then intervene to obstruct the progress of those who, on this day, are better than us.
we should be well placed to grab it and run with it to achieve the goal which we might not otherwise have achieved.'
And so it was, that, fate, not having been overbearingly good to the Intrepid Max Verstappen.
As he made his way, relentlessly, towards achieving what, until a fateful careless manoeuvre by him.
Presented Team Mercedes and their driver, Lewis Hamilton, with the opportunity to transform their race, from a seemingly uncertain and relatively disappointing finish.
In one of a somewhat unlikely or unpredictable triumph.
Not only did Hamilton made it to being the first racer to greet the Checkered Flag.
Thereby succeeding in converting his temporarily lost P.1 starting position into a win at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Circuit.
But he also used Verstappen's error in replacing caution with impetuousness, leading to him and Esteban Ocon colliding.
To break the precedent of him failing to win any of his post-Championship wins, in any of the subsequent races of his last 2 Drivers World Championships.
The incident also assisted Team Mercedes to win their Fifth Construction Championship.
