    by now, we should all realize that more people like Kimi than Massa...

    Remember when Kimi blamed his less-than-perfect performance in 1 race last year on his neck problems... if Massa had done that, then he may not have gotten as much sympathy.

    How would you like it if you hit a wall going a buck fifty? Your neck might hurt too, then consider the amount of G forces (5+) put onto the neck during braking, that's a pretty legitimate excuse.

    I wouldn't like it... I was just pointing out that people are quick to sympathize with Kimi (nothing wrong with that), while the same sympathy is not extended towards Massa.

    Lewis Hamilton had a bad accident once and came back in the next race, Kubica had the worst accident in 2007, and came back after 1 absence, where he placed 4th on his comeback.

    Without sounding like a sore loser I'm wondering if Mac hasn't found a technical way around TC? If F1 is anything like say cycling it's the best doper that wins so I'm wondering if Mac has found the best "work around." These guys are pretty evenly matched so if LH is running a perfect race right out of the gate even with no TC, me thinks there might be something more to it. The only reason why HK wasn't further up the grid is he's just not as good a driver given the same possible advantage.

    awww... Poor Kimi... the best revenge will be to learn quickly, and shows us the best he can do in the upcoming races... I hope to see a close race between the top contenders yet again!

    I wish Alonso had a better car though.. I wanted him to fight neck and neck with Hamilton and Kimi again...

    The race does't take place yet and you just are already magnifying Kimi's unknown skills. ?)
