http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/56485 Seems Ferrari is not doing well in testing at all this week with the horrible weather and now Felipe's crash.
That looks like Kimi's new helmet getting out of the car... Massa seems to be walking up to the car. Jim
I think the background pic is playing tricks on you. It did for me a little. On F1racing they have a bit larger pic and you can see the car, the black wall and white writing that would look like Kimi's helmet from far away- http://images.f1racing.net/news/67569.jpg
That's why he's # 2 on the team; LH crashed the McLaren also but he's a rookie.... Enzo must be saying WTF....
It's no big deal in a car shaking down....you have to go past the limits to find them........that's why it's called "testing"....in lieu of "racing"..... Schumi will go for some pizza and they'll keep trying.....LOL!
Time to put KIMI, in the F2007 and let him drive! You will find the limits faster with him because his style, will explore them sooner. SPEED is the result in which we are seeking, yes? Now, that car is a used car that has been crashed, and until the 2nd car is ready, what is KIMI, supposed to do? Midnight runs to the Pizzaria? (a smiley here) Ciao, Paolo...And thank you for flying ALITALIA AIRLINES!
He learned nothing from MS; all the top drivers keep valuable info to themselves, although in this day and age with computers, etc. setting up a car is so much easier than in the past. Remember Rule #1-Beat your teammate. You hope your teammate can take points from other competitors but that's it.
Please....Mazza is a VERY good driver. Maybe he doesn't have the ultimate skills of a MS or Kimmy, but he certainly is one of, if not the best, "team men" out there.
Look at the bright side they did not crash into each other. Bent cars are a part of racing. If they don't drive off once in a while that means they are not pushing it hard enough. It is going to be a great year for Ferrari, I can't wait.
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2004/10/23/schumacher041023.html Everyone crashes, its what happens at 200+ mph. Why are you guys making it such a big deal and feel the need to bash Massa? Wait until the season starts. If he shows poor performance, go ahead and bash.
OK, OK we get it, you don't like Massa in the Ferrari.......Holy Hayzuus, the season has yet to begin, and already the Massa bashers are out in force. You might not like him, but he's the one driving for Ferrari this year and he has more wins in a Ferrari than anyone else on the grid, except for Rubens. ....Oh and by the way, I don't see any of you keyboard jockeys threatening his seat.....those who can do, those who can't.....write about it on the internet My .02. Massa is a known quantity at Ferrari and a consistant driver who for the most part looks after the car. He may not be as quick over a given lap as Kimi, but is more likely to bring the car back in one piece. For testing, this is what you want. It is not about setting fastest time of day for the intenet gurus, but running a consistant program throughout the day to determine how changes affect the car. I would believe that Massa is better at this than Kimi and it is for this reason that Ferrari has him testing the F2007. The jury is still out on Kimi in my book. He is fast no doubt, but can he do what is needed within the team to win a WDC? Can he drive within the car so as to finish in the points in enough races to bring home the Constructors? We will see. I am looking forward to the season and will support both Ferrari drivers....and not bleat on and on about how good, Senna, Prost, Schumacher etc. was.
+1 I don't get all the Massa bashing either. From what what I saw last year he did pretty well and even won a race... which can't be said for everyone in F1. Yes he does the benefit of driving the Ferrari, but I'm sure Ferrari won't put just anyone in that car. I don't think Massa is better than Kimi, but I don't see Kimi leaving him in the dust this year either... I think they will make a great team and are in a good position to make a run at the Constructor Championship.
