Well since Schumacher and Brawn left, Ferrari suck. They almost lost last years title, and if they lose this years its their own fault, they just keep screwing up, they have the best equipment, but by no means are they the best team.

Also, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Renault Won :P

Even the fuel hose was not stuck on Massa's car, his race would have been ruined. Because apart from the fuel hose issue, his release from pits is an error. And he got the penalty not because of fuel hose, but because of jumping in front of FI. So, with fuel hose or not, Massa's race was already ruined.

Some Germans are saying that the German TV channel Premier showed Piquet spinning on the parade lap!

Why ..... just blow it! That's all.

Did they really said that quote in your sig to Alonso BAR#10? If so, Renault really are champions of the teamradio's, always telling there drivers without b*llshit what;s the current situation and what they should do or do not in a very human and simple way :)

Yep, that's what I heard, don't have it on tape though.

They initially thought they got the penalty, but obviuosly FA was in the pits before the accident happened at all.

Also, it could have been about not knowing how much fuel others have.

Yeah, they really did say that to him :) Renault's computers weren't working properly I think, so they just went ahead and told Alonso to makes things clear, hehe.

I did not know massa had a flat tyre as well before the 2nd stop until I read the reviews.

Tbh I though lewis should have gone after nico more but looking back at it i think he done the right thing, he would have looked silly going off or crashing. Massa was not going to score so it was better to get 6 points than none.

Was the same when passing DC he did not take any risks, he did not try any silly moves.

A year ago I think he would have gone for it no mater what the cost.

Lewis could well have this championship won before brazil now.

Loving the computer generated Massa image. Sweeeet.

EPIC FAIL yet again from Ferrari's damn pit system. I don't know why they don't just ditch it, it's done their title challenge more damage now than it can possibly do good.

Totally. I bet Michael wishes he could just jump in, start driving again and sort the team out that way ASAP, out of sheer exasperation...

No surprise RE No penalty for Vettel. He/Toro Rosso did nothing remotely wrong.

I still don´t agree with you. Massa has improved every year. The first year as you say yes he did make mistakes, but he was a clear number two to Schumacher, so he was never going to do anything special. Last year he was off/on all season. However this year, he has had some stunning drives, Hungary for example. Forget Silverstone and the first few races, other than that he´s been brilliant. He´s never been and never will be a Senna or Schumacher, but right now he´s the best guy for the job, simple because he´s tries to improve, unlike Kimi and you can tell he just really wants to do well in a Ferrari.

There was no point in him trying keep Hamilton back in Hockenheim, he was just too quick. To me that makes him a better driver, because he actually thought it through.

All them people you have named as possible replacements have all made as many mistakes as Massa this season, if not more.

Massa would be comfortably ahead of Hamilton if he didn't recent bad luck (today and Hungary)

Exactly. By the way, I´m not a Massa fan or anything. I just think credit is due.

Credit where its due, and criticism where it is due too. Remember the embarrassment that was Silverstone?

Just finished watching the race.

And HELL YEAH! Well done Nando! Fortunate to find himself in that position, but once he was there no one could touch him for pace. Brilliant, well deserved, cements what everyone has been saying about him driving stunningly this year.

Ferrari, what a shambles. Its as if they dont want Massa to win the title. They are a mess right now.

James Allen, prick as usual.

And this must sting for Bruninho, not only did Singapore produce a great race, Piquet showed he has no right to be in F1 again.

I don't think there's been a more comical Ferrari pit stop since 1999 when they tried sending Irvine out on 3 wheels at the Nurburgring!
