You might consider that a battle. Rivalry seems to me that you hate you opponents guts...

Rivalry - Someone who you see as a great opponent. Such as MSC/Hakk
Bitter rivalry - Someone who you detest as an opponent. Such as Prost/Senna

Michael once said the one man he feared on track was Hakkinen. That to me is a rivalry.

Just heard some inside information from a member of HRT about India:
Everything stinks like burnt plastic, 24h a day. But that wasn't that bad, because after 2 days all the toilets were broken. So after that everything smelled like shit. It appeared that constructors, after they finished the toilets, threw all the leftovers of cement in bags in the sewer. And when these got wet...
He stayed in a 4 star luxury hotel that looked fantastic, but when someone in the room above took a shower, the water dripped down through the lamps into his bed. When he took a shower, the water didn't go down the drain but formed a little river under his bed.
Seems like the Indians don't care much about the finishing touch. If the building is there, that's good enough. Grandstands crooked? Meh. Stairs leading to nowhere? Then don't take them.
He was happy when he left India.

"I miss you Alain"...

We have so many great drivers nowadays in F1 (Massa NOT included) that some exciting stuff is bound to happen over the years. Just wait for closer championships.
They even began already (Alonso vs Hamilton in their teammate years).

Schumacher because it took all of his ability and an incredibly amount of work to gain 2 positions out of Massa and Hamilton crashing into each other.

Get fucking real people.

Qualified 12th, finished 5th. That's a bit more than 2 positions from Massa and Lewis isn't it?

Just wait for 2014 and Sochi.

"This won't be a fashionable view for British fans but, for me, their collision on lap 24 was a racing incident at best. At worst I felt Lewis was more to blame.

“I simply can't understand how Felipe could have been deemed the guilty party. As drivers we are always taught that the car behind is responsible so to my mind the stewards misinterpreted what happened. I don’t want to beat up on Lewis. Far from it.

But in this instance I feel he was definitely the guiltier party. If Lewis had got that far up alongside Felipe into a tight hairpin, where the braking zone is maybe 100 metres and lasts for a few seconds, then I think Massa would have been right to give way. But heading into a fourth gear left-hander at maybe 150-160km/h? Where the braking zone lasts for one second? I don't think Massa can be held responsible.

“But this isn’t really about Lewis and Felipe. It could have been any two drivers. What concerns me more is the inconsistency of stewarding decisions. Making these types of calls is one of the real difficulties with a complex sport like Formula One, but it was almost as if they felt that - with Lewis receiving so many decisions against him this year - they were trying to redress the balance. A bit like in football when a referee sends someone off in controversial circumstances and the crowd is on his back, he is more disposed to send a player from the opposition off. “
