Massa making himself look worse. What a hypocrite.
Hamilton owns him, just like how micheal left emotional scars on Rubens.

If you can't take the heat Massa, all you have to do is get out of the way when you see the Mp4 coming. Lift off the throttle, nice and slow.. Let it be, you can't win.
What a bunch of bullshit. Is there a border to it?

Actually he makes a valid point....IMO LH just does not think hard enough...

Agreed, a great drive to get to such a high position in the first place, and then an even better drive to keep his tyres alive for 32 laps to keep it.

You have got to be kidding... if Lewis is so good, why didn't he wait for the next lap to attempt a clean pass along the inside?

And btw, that front wing change I mentioned is not for 2012, nevermind me :)

The lap before the safety car came in, everyone was doing 2.00 minute laps, however Perez did a 1.56, and at the time the fastest lap was a 1.52.5

Perez surely did a racing lap behiind the safety car, but they are meant to drive to a set time limit, why didnt he get a penalty?

So nobody saw Perez speeding behind the safety car?

That's racing Massa. Massa has caused just as much colissions and so has Kobayashi.

“As I said it’s important the FIA is looking and penalising him all the time he is going in the car because he cannot think about it.”
Now this is beyond the pale!!

Do you all see what this guy is promoting here?
This is complete and blind discrimination against a driver that He is asking for.
FIA should penalize Hamilton everytime he gets in the car.

Massa must be out of his mind.

Guy's getting owned by Alonso and is taking it out on the other drivers. Or maybe Alonso is brainwashing him to hate on lewis?

Even when they did that in 2008 he still lost to Lewis.
I want to see Massa as Hamilton teammate in the future. That would be lovely!! :lol:


What happend in the race is a race incident. Look on MS, on of the greats.
He made a silly mistake today. Doesn't change the fact that he's one of the best.

Hamilton fell back to 18th, and brushed his knees off and got fifth, despite Massa coming out better from the accident.
For Sure!!

From James Allen's report....

And it was another of “those” races for Lewis Hamilton who lost four places at the start, then had a collision with Felipe Massa in which he broke his front wing and for which the stewards gave him a drive through penalty. In total Hamilton passed through the pits five times.

Massa lost out hugely in the incident; he had a puncture and had to tour slowly back to the pits. He was furious with Hamilton after the race and confronted him privately, but Hamilton rebuffed him. So he raised his objections in front of the TV cameras and later lambasted the Englishman,

“He cannot use his mind,” said Massa. “He could have caused a big accident. He is paying for that, that’s the problem. He doesn’t understand, even paying for a problem.

“The problem was that I was in the middle so I had a puncture in my tyres and I pay a lot. It is important that FIA is looking and penalising him all the time he is going in the car because he cannot think about it,” Massa added.

The pair had had problems the day before with Hamilton forcing his way past the Ferrari driver on an outlap.

Hamilton fought back through the field with a series of overtakes to claim fifth place at the end and following the confrontation with Massa, did not face the media for comment.

gotta love lewis' response to massa pulling him in the press area, 'dont touch me man!' lol
anywhere is and im sure lewis would have decked him and made him look stupid.. like he does on the race track..
drove around for 2 laps with half a front wing, 7 second stop to change his wing, and a drive through, and then overtook massa again!
massa should move on, do some lower league driving where he belongs nowadays! lol

After they had both been in for repairs, and Ham his drive through, Massa came out in front, yet Ham finished way ahead. Massa didn't lose out as much as he would like people to believe, relative to HAM.

Not the difference in tyres between two cars, but instead, the marbles. Most of the overtakes seemed to happen when someone got a little out of shape in 5, and because of marbles lost all traction down the "straight".
the DRS made a massive difference, it was the only reason lewis could continue to pass people, i believe he overtook rosberg 3 times lol.

He actually drove a good race, in general he was faster than jenson, but the unfortunate start and the error with massa ruined his race.
I hope after the season ends, FIA will sit down and carefully review the DRS zones at all track and makes adjustments. I don't what to see anymore races like Singapore where the DRS made overtaking look like a walk in the park. It has also happened in other races.

How many "silly" mistakes Hamilton did over the years? If one makes that much "silly" mistakes, you call him smart of what?

all seem to forget that there was a SC, which help some drivers a lot, like Hamilton. Otherwise he had would have had hard time to get points. Also, Alguersuari screwing up Alonso....

Yeah, over his 282 races. Compared to Levis' 85.
Come to think of it — 2007 is still a strongest performance for Lewis. He just don't seem to grow.
