MASSA DOESN'T SUCK

Yes and now they are leading the WCC, after a race that allegedly wouldn't suit the Ferrari.

 

If I were Massa's manager, I'd be trying to get him in Weber's seat for next year.

 

No complaints.
Ferrari leads the WCC.

 

I'd go for Mcl, but Ferrari won't let Massa go, he'll end his F1 career there.

 

Massa had a good race, I hope Ferrari can get the car to make the tires last a bit longer. They are in great hape, the coming season looks bright.

 

Er, you mean Ferrari is in a good position for the WDC, ie. leading their serious rival. Lotus won't be there at the end of the year but RB will be.

WCC is the consolation price ... always has been since it was created to pacify the British kit car teams in 1960 I believe. The best car wins the WDC, most reliable/consistent (think things like Toyota Corolla ... yawn) wins the WCC. And yes Bernie hands out $'s based on WCC positions but sponsorship makes considerably more than that ... and sponsors follow the winner, the WDC.

Yeah let's revisit that argument.

 

The badges for the "17M" car are already on order.

 

They taking deposits yet?

I'll take this year's Phil (&car) over last's.

 

Just making sure the new comers know how it really is

Why did Massa pit so early his 2nd time? He had the track for himself and medium tires.

 

Still preying on the naive are you?



I kid. I kid.

Indeed. Well done.

 

But the question is.... Will the Scuderia allow him to win, or will they pull off more pit shenanigans to put Alonso in front?

 

Massa is a good driver but he's not a great driver. He's too nice of a guy. He will never win a title when he has a Schumacher or an Alonso as a team mate. He's just not at their level for an entire race. Sure he puts in a good qualifier here or there or a few fast laps in a race but he always seems to struggle when it matters....during the race. I like him. He's a solid number 2 despite what happened last year. No matter what he says or what the team says his job is to take away points from the other teams and help Alonso win the title. Basta.

 

I think we should all be glad for him and admire his fortitude. He has shown a fantastic return to form since being brained by Barichello's spring.

 

Great job Massa. Well done. It's really nice to see him back on the pace. This is exactly what he has to do if he wants equal chance at winning.

Great result but I don't see him as a threat to Alonso.




Yet......

 

Anyone remember drivers like Giles Villeneuve or Rene Arnoux?

Oh, right: nobody remembers the nice guys.

 

I think this is all very healthy competition.... I hope Massa wins a couple of races. I root for the underdog!
