I feel like I'm asking this every two weeks, but how the hell is he not fired yet?

Nicolas Todt, son of Jean is Massa's manager.

 

[DieH@rd]

So good, but we need the entire footage of his gestures... they've shown it after the race.

 

[Ark]

Felipe Massa not planning truce with Lewis Hamilton

TLDR: Massa not only shit driver, but cunt.

Hahaha.

 

[Dibbz]

lol Rowan Atkinson's expressions are amazing.

Smedley's reaction says everything you need to know

 

[Ark]

It sure says a lot when even Massa's race engineer thinks he's an idiot.

 

[brotkasten]

Nicolas Todt, son of Jean is Massa's manager.

Even that shouldn't give him a free pass after this season.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Ahaha, Seb and Lee flirting on the Forum.

Vettel knows where it's at. He's so tapping that.

No gain for Blue Racing

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Of course, what was I thinking. ]

Yeah, just available seats and not free ones.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Just finished the race. Watched the first 10 laps, then skipped to lap 20 till lap 45. Then skipped to lap 58 to 60.

I wish I wasn't tired cause this was a very fun race! Love the turns/speed.

Felipe Massa not planning truce with Lewis Hamilton

TLDR: Massa not only shit driver, but cunt.

When asked what he could do to end the feud, Massa said: "Nothing from me."

Hamilton added: "He hasn't spoken to me in a long, long time. I made an effort and said good luck for the race."

Massa confirmed that the British driver had spoken to him on the grid after all 24 drivers observed a minute's silence in India to mark the deaths of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli.

"Here after the one-minute silence he was [at] my side and he just said 'have a good race'," Massa explained.

"So this is trying to what? 'Have a good race' is not part of talking or whatever."

Really? Really?! What a bitch Massa is.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Massa has always been a bitch.. and now he's Alonso's

 

[jambo]

He needs to sack up and talk to Hamilton.

 

[Dilly]

Give me some months to prepare and I would look less emberassing in that Ferrari.

For Sure

3rd week in a row that i haven't moved up or down in f1racemanager

boo!

 

[DrM]

Massa and Rubens should start their own F1 team, WRT

Worthless Racing Team

I read it as Whining Racing Team

 

[operon]

Enjoyed the race, not a bad one. Love Massa but I think its time for him to hang up the gloves, hes not the same driver since the accident and the whole not getting on now with lewis is becoming a joke. Glad to see schumi driving great and beating britney.

Watched the Senna film last night, anyone that hasn't get watching it fantastic. Great man. Starting watching around that time a few years before it. Don't understand why prost never got the hate, like schumacher got later, for taking senna out to win

The Professor is rarely criticized because of his general approach to driving in F1 and his off-track demeanour; he was a gentleman through and through with only that infamous incident as a black mark against his character.

Vettel got his first Grand Chelem (pole, race victory, fastest lap, leading every lap) this weekend, here are rest of the drivers to achieve this.

Clark - 8
Ascari - 5
Schumacher - 5
Senna - 4
Mansell - 4
Stewart - 4
Piquet - 3
Fangio - 2
Brabham - 2
Hakkinen 2
Moss - 2
Lauda - 1
Regazzoni - 1
Ickx - 1
Hawthorn - 1
Siffert - 1
Laffite - 1
Villeneuve - 1
Berger - 1
Hill - 1
Alonso - 1
Vettel - 1

Yet more compelling evidence in favour of Clark been regarded as the greatest of all time.

Red Bull Racing has faith that Sebastian Vettel is not taking too many risks in his pursuit of fastest laps - even though the team admits it does not like the world champion pushing so hard for the accolade. Vettel set the fastest lap of the Indian Grand Prix right at the very end of the race – just a fortnight after telling his bosses that he would not push for such a feat again.

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner said that the team was not in favour of the pursuit of fastest laps, but reckoned that Vettel was intelligent enough not to throw away a race result to chase them.

When asked if Vettel had asked for permission to set the fastest lap at the end of the GP, Horner said: "Of course not because he knows we don't like it.

"We had done our best to manage it, we had turned all the engine modes down, KERS off, and short of putting a cow on the circuit there was not a lot else we could do.

"At the end of the day we have complete trust in him. I am sure he still had the margin in there, and the main aim for him is to win the race. He knows there are no points for fastest laps, but he likes those little statistics to complete a perfect weekend."

Horner mentioned the fastest lap over the radio to Vettel after the chequered flag, having had talks about the matter in Korea.

"We spoke about it after the last race and he apologised and said, 'sorry, it won't happen again.' And two weeks later here we are.

"But he is a sensible boy, he knows. I am sure that he builds in a pretty big margin but I think he wanted to demonstrate what speed he was capable of here."

lol

 

[Edmond Dantès]

lol

Grand Chelem's are pretty rare in this era of F1, so I applaud Vettel for going against orders, just this once for personal glory.

When Vettel always waited for Button to pit first it was very clear that he was going for the Grand Chelem, and with Webber doing the FL on the 59th lap I knew that he would go for a 100% lap on the last lap lol

Gotta love him, it's like Kimi.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I love the way Vettel always goes 110%.

Yeah, was pretty cool to see.

Another record ticked off (Youngest ever)... wonder if he'll try for more. It's really not like it matters if he wins or not any more so why not risk the DNF going for the ultimate win. \o/

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Psychotext]

He's awesome.

 

[Dilly]

No one can make such genius gestures spontaneously like he does.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Such an expressive face.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

He was blatantly playing up the camera though, let's be honest.

I didn't realise Damon Hill's son who has just started racing this year:

huh? he's been racing for years in formula ford.

taking his grandpa's lotus for a spin:

best helmet design in the history of motorsport. :bow

It was posted in the early hours of the morning. My mistake.

Massa lost it, after that impact with Rubens spring in Hungary 2009. I do not know, why is he still at Ferrari, any 'normal' team would kick him out after such abysmal season.

He's become genuinely terrible - watching him turn into Hamilton weekend was like watching Forza's AI drivers in full "STICK TO RACING LINE AT ALL COSTS" mode (something else I experienced all weekend!).

It felt awfully convenient that Hamilton got a penalty that put him back near Massa, thus ensuring on-track drama.

 

[Somtaaw]

"STICK TO RACING LINE AT ALL COSTS"

that what f1 drivers do since 1950 whats the big deal?

 

[Leonsito]

Lots of rumours today again of Rosberg in Ferrari for 2012.

 

[Psychotext]

That would be interesting.

It's generally not good to do that when there's another car where you are trying to place your car.

Britney would be a hell of a lot better than massa

all based on this it seems
http://www.express.de/motorsport/ne...erg-auf-massas-ferrari-,4595266,11081210.html
rather vague.
but if true likely it would look like
Schumacher, Di Resta at Merc
Sutil and Hulk at FI

Surely thats a minor technicality, good drivers like massa do that

 

[Leonsito]

Britney would be a hell of a lot better than massa

Yep, a good oportunity for him with a race winning car, but he would have to live in Alonso's team, knowing that he will have to let Alonso past in some races if needed.

Britney to Ferrari? In 2013 maybe, because I do not see driver to replace him for 2012. Di Resta is getting another season at Force India. Or Haug snatched Kimi from Williams

Atkinson ordered new MP4-12C when he got his crashed Mclaren F1 from service in Woking

Source?

Do you know if he got his McLaren F1 fixed as well?

Source is our local tabloidic F1 commentator

They fixed his crashed Mclaren F1 and soon after that, he ordered MP4-12C.Atkinson is known for his passion for sports cars, so this is not a surprise

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Sorry if old.. Adam Parr on Raikkonen

I really hope it happens
