I dont feel bad for Kimi at all.
At the end of the day, you make your own luck, I notice Juan Pablo doesnt have such bad luck.
Ive seen this up close in many types of racing, the super quick guys often use kerbs and track edges a lot more than others, and this puts stress into the car.
Look at Monaco as a great example, Webber much quicker than Nico, Webber breaks down with engine blowup, Nico off with freak, but not mechanical failure. (ie. its electronic!) so did Webbers pace overload the engine?
Kimi and montoya, the sower fella keeps his engine in one piece, again.
Trulli and Ralf, again, the lightning quick drives detonates, Ralf plods to 8th.
Incidentally, in my last season of racing I finished every race, usually first in class, except the last on in which I was pushing very hard and was far quicker than usual, and up with the class A cars. Ive a great video of me pushing the car off the track after the engine blowing. Moral of the story, you can be average and reliable or fast and fragile.
(renault and ferrari need not apply to this theory, as the cars are so good)
my opinion anyway.
