I don't see how he buying some bicycle team is big or important news. Either he's out of Ferrari, which i highly doubt, or he's getting a new teammate, which i think it's the big news. I think there's no more excuse for Massa performance. Unless, just a big if, he's actually testing parts. But it makes no sense. Him testing parts and being so slow, isn't gonna bring the WCC to Maranello. I just have a feeling that Kimi's coming...
I'm still with the "Groundhog day" scenario... Stefano Domenicali has launched it, just like last year, by saying: "my first choice would be Felipe, but we need results before granting him a new contract". Step two: next three/four races, Felipe gets awake and kickin', gets two/three acceptable results and voilà, here you have your one-year extension. Exactly just like last year... Not what I would prefer, but this is what I believe will actually happen. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I believe that in the end, with the exception of Ricciardo, every "top gun" will stay put: Kimi at Lotus, Fernando at Ferrari, Jenson at McLaren, and, err, Felipe at Ferrari (in that case, the term "topgun" is probably not that much appropriate). Rgds
year on year Stefano is proving he is the worlds stupidest man. OR we all really want to see what sort of sick sexual predicament Massa has pictures of either from LdM or speccy Domenicalli...or both
Well...Stefano Domenicali can't be stupid, that I am sure; he masters a few langages really well, including french, he is charming and intelligent. I'm sure he is a very likeable guy. He has been asked a number of times if he wouldn't be too weak for the job at hand, and answered "no, I'm not weak"... So, that leaves us with "those famous pictures" locked in a vault, or in Felipe's office drawer, don't you think? Rgds
The theory is gathering stronger evidence every year. Maybe, in 2046 a very old and grey Massa will be too old to function and will finally voluntarily leave Ferrari. And then release the pictures .
Too funny and hopefully Massa will have some "behind the scenes" photo's of Alonso's current Lingual student". Yes I digress easily.
As the saying goes Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. Hahaha..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and IMHO massa hasn't driven beautifully on a consistent basis to warrant another year with the most prestigious racing team in the world.
Late last year, suddenly it seemed he was quick enough again. He outqualified Alonso multiple times (and of course let him pass as Alonso had been doing his job properly all year and had a championship to fight for). Then at the opening few races this year he again was outqualifying Alonso. Then he went back to day dreaming about LdM's dirty pictures, probably laughing to himself at times (hence the very odd crashes here and there, probably laughed so hard at the mere thought of what the rest of the world must think he complete lost all ability to keep the car from spontaneously crashing). You'll see he'll probably do a couple of good quali's to show he's still got it, sign on for another year and many quatloos and go back to day dreaming again.
From what I'm hearing, Massa is done. If Ferrari cannot get Raikkonen, they will get Hulkenburg. I hope I'm hearing correctly.
