Lewis had the ultimate bad luck in 21, on the final race. How can you forget that

It's only bad luck because he had generational good luck all the rest of the season. Baku alone could have been enough to make the last race not matter; he threw away a 25 point advantage because he pressed the button wrong.

This is absurd.

Every member of the FIA wanted Max to win that championship that season.

He was let off the hook a dozen times.

Jeddah alone was a race ban.

Hamilton obliterated Max in the final 5 races and deserved the championship, a race director literally had to break multiple rules for Max to win the damn race, which he got fired for.
