And I'm willing to bet he still loses races. However, a lost race isn't always on the person driving considering mechanical issues and what not, but I'm willing to bet if he invested as much, or more practice than his opponents, he's be at the top nearly every time. This is removing non-human issues, of course.
It's not an absolute necessity, but it is a necessity.

Well my first post is gonna look kind of dumb after you say that and make it look like I really disagree completely with you when that's really not the case,
I more agree with this, I think hard work deserves respect but you're right it's not always necessary and is sometimes overrated but I don't think it less valuable than talent or luck. Sure it works best when combined with those things and those things can go far on their own, sometimes farther than hard work alone can but they just seem like different roads to the same destination in most cases. I don't think it matters much whether you used talent or hard work or both if you still ended up doing something great, its the greatness that matters not the road to it, for me at least.
Obviously. Hell, he hasn't won a single race this year (though he is 5th in the championship), but I'd blame that on the team's strategy, which has screwed both him and his teammate over on multiple occasions.
And he has actually been at the top almost every single time. 2002 (first season with a top team, marred by car reliability issues) and 2009 (he almost fully lost his motivation and had a bad car) are about the only times when he wasn't "there".
Yeah, I'm starting to agree with this, though I probably still see it as less of a necessity than you do.
That's the thing about racing, there is a lot more involved than just one person's ability, especially in any kind of motor vehicle racing.
I just see it like this. Some people are just really good at some things, and I am really good at some other things. However, if I don't put in any kind of hard work to reach the level that my opponent is at when we're on equal footing, I'll lose. Having intellect and potential means nothing if you don't devote some amount of time to mastering it.
That feel when you aren't really skillful at anything ;___;
