Although from a fans point of view i prefer to get the bad luck out of the way asap if even it does make getting up at 4.30 a total waste of time

And according to the law of averages.
It evens out on the long run.
Luck is just a four letter word...

Not sure Mark Webber would agree with this

This is precision engineering you're talking about (or not as appears to be Ferrari's case!). Luck has nothing to do with it.
When a race car retires there's always a reason for it, and I have yet to hear someone from an F1 engine department (or any other dept) state they retired from a race due to bad luck.

Good point... but would you consider it to be Good Luck for a team when a competitor retires due to an engine (or other mechanical) failure?

Hmmm....let's call that the spoils of competition !
Seriously though, I bet there's not one of the top 5 teams who would prefer to beat a competitor solely on the competitor having car failures.

Probably so, but that wouldn't stop them being quietly pleased to see a rival trickling to a standstill at the far side of the track.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough races per year for the luck to always correct itself.
Ultimately, you can't do anything about luck, it's out of your control so better not to worry about it.

Curiously all the outstanding drivers and teams seem to be "lucky" many times.
Over the years i have learned that hard work, focus and intelligence usually lead to have more "luck", which basically means that the best drivers and teams are luckier because they maximice the chances of getting a good result and work better than the rest.
Many times bad pilot´s and teams refers to bad luck as an excuse for a bad done job.
