Hamilton hit Massa from behind when Felipe was taking the apex! You seem to be implying that Massa either tried some desperate defensive move, or brake tested him or something. It was nothing of the sort, he took the inside line, and was naturally a little slow due to cold prime tyres, a dirty line, and a car that's awful at warming up its tyres.
If we found out that Webber's engineer told him to destroy Hamilton's race at Singapore last year, it would've been a different story, as Webber basically committed to the corner despite Hamilton being well ahead.
