i feel so bad and sick each time i see Senna's crash. lucky i was too little to know about that when it happened, and lucky, i wasn't even born when GV died. however, those sorta ppl led a great life, a life that has to be celebrated.
The question is, did you bother reading the title or even the first post? My understanding is that Massa tells some facts about the new car, I don't see him talking about his skills... it's you who brought the thread off-topic
Oh come on now...lets not forget Lewis "tire cord" Hamilton, the worlds BEST rain driver. That was rookie genius at its best. No need for tread boys Ive got it under control. Just ask my dad ............ LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a huge blunder but one I put at the feet of the team. Why they left him out I will never know. They couldn't have stymied his WDC chances more if they tried (hmmm....) but Massa leaving the pits on red was 100% on him. I've got 1% the racing experience Massa has and I know that the last line of defense for those decisions is the driver, and any driver knows how to tell if the pits are open or closed and not to leave when they're closed.
Agreed. Let's also not forget how well he was driving on those bald tires, in the wet. I wonder how well Massa's times would have been if he'd been driving on them.
+100 Hark at the critic's, It is not necesssary for them to understand things in order to argue about them.
The pit exit light has to be observed by every driver at every session (practice, qualifying, race) and at every track. It is always in the same position and works the same. Claiming Massa was unfamiliar with it or the team should have alerted him is plain bullocks. The fact that he wasn't alone in not observing it, is no excuse. Not seeing a flag from a stewart is debatable. Driving through a red light on a speed limited pit lane is unexcusable.
