wow - he was 0:00,1s faster than Alonso. If races lasted 2 days, Massa would probably finish in front of Alonso.

Don't start being a moron, Seb.

Also, did Kova have a problem today? If not, he just got owned by Petrov.

Full respect to Vettel for that too.

I would say 50-50

Narain was lapped and he has to get off the way as much as he can.

But on the other Side:

Vettel moved right infront of him and touched him, but there was no need of it

To be fair massa has done something good today. If you remember The key moment of the race was when nando pitted, ham pitted behind him and when ham was about to leave the pit massa came and hold him back. He is not totally useless after all

I'd have been confused too, with those radio calls. Might as well have said "Seb, just do whatever, we don't know what the fuck is going on!"

And no-one else will do any better.

It would probably do Ferrari good to stick Perez in there ASAP to acclimatise himself but he will be struggling to score points in that car, just like Felipe is. Because the McLaren is faster. The Red Bull is faster. The Mercedes is (probably) faster. The Sauber is faster. The Williams might be faster. Only Alonso and his talent can salvage anything for that team this year.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Massa got passed by Riccardio before Ricc pitted for the slicks. He was actually *last* of the normal cars, and falling back, whilst his team mate was leading and pulling away.

Messages at Sauber..Hmm:P

Oh, fair enough then.

He did though - he held his line right on the outside. It's the faster car's responsibility to then safely go by him, which Seb didn't. Just a poor judgement call on his part.

The thing is it's so confusing to judge anything now. Yes, Perez closed Alonso down but they were maintaining a gap to the guys behind. It's so difficult but on a normal race the Ferrari would be in trouble admittedly.

What another shit weekend for Mercedes though.

I think what really killed Massa's race was that he burned up his 2nd set of inter's faster than others, Up untill that point he wasn't doing that badly (Running 8th from memory), He lost all his time struggling around on worn tyres. When they put the 2nd set of Inter's on his pace was again good untill he killed those as well.

Ted Kravitz also said he had a very bad stop at one point.

Senna needs a mention also, I honestly don't rate him at all but he drove really well today.

This is the story that will be missed among the rampant Perez to Ferrari stuff. How long will Rosberg continue to be so poor before Merc realise that they have their pick of drivers who could win in that car? Will Schumacher survive as well. He's not been spectacular, but he's showing something, and could have been better off if it weren't for Grosjean punting him.

How can you be so sure Rosberg is the problem or that Schumacher is doing better? Michael's had his first 2 races cut short (no fault of his own), we have no idea what his pace would be through a full race length in this car.

I agree with this. Sorry, but I don't rate Rosberg. He's a great qualifier, but that's it. Even in his Williams days he just went backwards during the race. Remember his awful third stint and out laps at Singapore when in a great position? He does it almost every race - watch the live timing when he pits, and he just hemorrhages time. He did it again today. Everyone said his tyres were fucked, well whos fault is that? He had the same tyres, for the same length of time, and everybody around him was fine. He did what he always did.

Love the people calling it a conspiracy. What a load of bullshit. Yes, Sergio Perez would sacrifice a win and in doing so he'd throw it off the road rather than simply slow down.

I like how Sky are blatantly pussy footing around the issue of conspiracy when raised. Croft mentioned it during the race, and Brundle sorta cringed and gave a cynical "yeah" then changed the subject. Whitmarsh just did it there, and the presenters all looked awkward, then ignored it. After Sky annoying some teams in the pre-season, it seems they are now going to pussy foot around anything controversial to keep the peace.
