Think about this. Leading in Monaco prior to the safety car being released was an advantage as Bottas was compromised during that sequence.

But in Silverstone trailing happened to be advantageous for a random moment the safety car came out.
Pick any world champion at random and have a look at how many lucky moments contributed to their winning their title, you would find that being at the right place at the right time to benefit from low hanging fruit such as safety cars and opponents accidents or penalties is a common part of winning championships. Ask Rosberg, he would tell you a thing or two about it.

Hence, l think you make a very pointless statement. Luck is part of winning.
