Lewis Hamilton was left questioning when Nico Rosbergs run of good luck will come to an end after the German benefitted from a Red Bull strategy blunder to consolidate second in Brazil.Rosberg was passed by Max Verstappen for second position after the final restart but soon reclaimed the position when the Red Bull driver pitted for intermediates. That turned out to be the wrong decision as the rain intensified, forcing Verstappen to pit again -- though his charge from 16th to third suggested he could have finished higher.The result means Rosberg now just needs to finish on the podium in Abu Dhabi to claim the title and Hamilton was baffled to hear Red Bull got its strategy so wrong in the heavy rain. The German driver avoided race-ending collisions at Turn 1 in Malaysia -- where Hamiltons engine failed while leading -- and in Mexico despite making contact with other cars.When Sky Sports put it to Hamilton that Rosberg had an element of good fortune on his side again in Brazil, Hamilton said: Unbelievabble, when will it end? Red Bull made such a big mistake with that call.ddddddddddddWhen the team called me and said, People are starting to pit for inters, Im like, Theyre crazy, there is no way it is going to last, and they are going to have to pit again. Thats what they did and it is a shame, but there is nothing I can do about that.Verstappen still had a great race, and got back up to third, but it would be good if they made some good calls at the next race.Hamilton turned in a dominant drive from pole position to win on Sunday, leading every lap of a rain-delayed race to move second on the all-time list of race wins. The reigning world champion later said he never felt threatened by Rosberg in second.After the race, Verstappen and Red Bull boss Christian Horner expressed doubts Hamilton would have been beatable even without the strategy mistake given his dominant pace .
