RE30,
I have to agree on the outright speed shown by Massa, he certainly has improved (and someone at Ferrari must have noticed this also or he wouldnt be dirving one!)

Unfortunately his speed seems to be restricted to ideal conditions, well set up car, good grip levels, clean air etc. (the conditions you would find out front of a race, during qualifying, or testing)
If he gets outside his comfort zone he seems to back off too much. 2 mistakes during the race seemed to get him backing off and not taking the risk required to get past someone.

During pre season testing he had the measure of Kimi except for one day when the session was wet, again outside the ideal and his own comfort zone. I too hope that this will change as he gets more experience and confidence in his own ability, as he one of the super quick drivers out there.

RE 30xxx, thanks for the recommendation. Tha Chamomilla tea was gorgeous..))

Actually we dont discuss mathematics here and thats why we can argue endlessly about drivers abilities regardless of the points they won. Re.MARTIN vs.JOHNNY, well you dont have to be a genius to understand that JOHNNY had a different class package in 95 which eluded MARTIN throughout his career. But thats not important. What counts is that FELIPE now shows all he promised since he came into the sport and particularly last year along MICHAEL. I am very sure the title this year has to be won against him and I personally dont see him beaten, although tomorrow may be tight.

A fantastic Championship, extremely tight at the top and midfield, may we see lots of great races....

I did get the right driver and wasn't too far of the points.

Right car, wrong guy

Only 2 points off

Right guy and right car but I had no pts predictions. Would have picked 110 (naturally)

BARF.
