The Monaco retirements for example were not car related. Vandoorne was running in the points when a combo of cold tires and brakes forced a driver error. Button crashed out while making an overly ambitious pass attempt.

Forced driver errors and overly ambitious pass attempts are all part of it. Bringing the car home is very much part of getting the job done.
