    It is nice to live in a world where a man's handshake still means something and where F1 contracts are valued in gold.

    No need to loose sleep over your seat, Felipe. You are safe. 100%.

    Good news. Always liked Felipe - he's had a rough year but he's always been a team player....

    Besides the race in Turkey, Felipe has done a good job this season.

    I quit smoking back in August of 2009, but not drinking. Seriously he has done a half decent job up till Turkey, and that was not necessarily his fault.

    He screwed up at least once going wide on the marbles and letting folks go by.

    Who's fault was it that the car was still in gear during the pitstop? Massa's or the electronics? I honestly don't know, would like to hear the answer.

    And just like Kimi, Massa will be one the highest paid F1 drivers next year thanks to Ferrari. Whether he drives or not.....signing a contract with Ferrari guarantees one thing....$$$$$

    Alonso wants him to stay, because he understands team orders.

    True. But they need some management and design innovation. Drivers are not the issue. Lets hope they add that to the mix!

    Spot-on regarding Prost, but Lauda jumped ship all by himself, and he brought mechanic Ermanno Coughi with him to Brabham.

    Really? I thought Enzo replaced him with Villeneuve. Enzo just made it look like it was his decision I guess.

    as intriguing as this sort of stuff is, we're never really going to know, Even if we were able to ask Enzo and Lauda, there's a good chance they'd tell us crap.

    I STILL want to know why MS retired to this day!

    He'd probably be a 9 time WDC had he not retired in '06.

    Agree, he left too early, when he drove the 2007 or 2008 Ferrari F1 Car in practice he was faster than both Massa and Kimi. He did retire too soon. probably would have had over 100 wins.
