LEWIS HAMILTON had his own share of the luck last season despite the safety car shocker that robbed him of the F1 title. Now Honda F1 boss Masashi Yamamoto has pointed to incidents such as the red flag at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as moments that went Hamilton’s way earlier in the season. “However, the red flag allowed his car to be repaired and he was able to make up the lost lap time. “Lewis has been lucky a few times this season and this was one of them.”. Merc bosses and F1 pundits were up in arms at the call by race director Michael Masi to allow a handful of lapped cars through before resuming racing in Abu Dhabi.
