    A great qualifying form Massa, looks like he's back in top form. This season looks to be a very bright one.

    As soon as he wins he's no longer the underdog.
    So where are you then?

    Massa just needs a bit more Kimi attitude - "leave him alone, he knows what he's doing". The team needs to back off and let Phil race Alanzo and may the best man win.

    Ferrari doesn't need to let him win, they just need to stay out of his way if he's quicker!

    IMO Massa is going to take some championship points away from Alonso this year

    But Massa doesn't know what he's doing the same way Kimi or Alonso know what they're doing. Massa relies very much on his race engineer, Rob Smedley, and would never make an instinctive call like coming in for tires 3 laps earlier than planned. He'll ask Rob why Alonso went in, then will do what Smedley tells him to do.

    But Smedley should also be partly blamed for not coming up with a strategy for Massa ?
    Or is his hands tied by Ferrari :)

    20 seconds. 20 seconds. 20 seconds.

    Massa was beaten by Alonso by 20 seconds. How many times must this be mentioned before people understand that Massa wasn't faster than Alonso and somehow screwed through different strategy. He was much slower in the race.

    its nice to see Massa holding his own, this is a team effort and ferrari needs both drivers to be on the podium.

    bravo Massa and Alonso

    Well done by Felipe again. Team first and foremost, and the best for the team is both drivers taking the most points possible away from the other teams.

    So far it doesn't look like any other teams have two good consistent drivers...at least not yet.

    Ferrari would have to be damn irresponsible to broadcast their entire strategy on public radio transmissions. That's just entertainment.

    That's what I don't get. It's not like its some secret code.
    Maybe when things get passionate they revert.
    It's supposed to be against the rules but goes unpunished.
