And what if it is in the past? Bourdaised or Bourdose?

Massa did what he does best, start from pole and win. He is impressive that way but he still needs to impress when he is coming from behind.

As he did in Australia. Starting from last and finishing 6th.

I still believe he is the one to beat this year. He is quick and the Ferrari is a very reliable package.

Why didn't I think of that?

Sure he finished in 6th in Australia but given the gap in the field he should have finished 4th. Remember in Australia it was Ferrari ....... McLaren ....... BMW .............................................................. Renault

Fastest lap by Kimi was more than a second faster than anyone else. Theoratically Massa should have finished 2nd.

IMHO I don't think he impressed by finishing 6th. Good drive but not impressive. Other drivers would have done much better.

Raikkonen started last in Bahrain last year and finished on the podium and the McLaren wasn't the fastest car then!

Yeah, and KIMI started 3rd to finish 3rd in this years Bahrain GP

- in the winning FERRARI..

So, whatever, FELIPE certainly can drive a bit and no other driver has ever been as close to MICHAEL in the same car as he did last year, his 1st at the team. He is very very gifted and this season will show..

I also think his "mistake" at Sepang was way overrated, he tried to pass, was pretty close in achieving that, just missed it, period. i for one think it was well worth the try. Others, KIMI included, didnt, and I have to say MICHAEL never showed such a conservative drive as KIMI in the last couple of races...

I think you are right about Massa. Jean Todt probably got on the radio and told Massa to just cool it and finish. There was a big difference in his driving after the mistake. He is young with perhaps a bit steeper learning curve than Alonso or Hamilton, but he reminds me of a young Nelson Piquet at the same point in his career! There must've been a good reason Ferrari signed him.

That fact that he could out qual Schuey, and beat him authenticates their belief in him, I reckon

Kimi is meant to be in the top 2 fastest drivers and Massa has out Q'd him the last 2 races & he didn't get a chance in Aust.

He definitely doesn't get the recognition & praise he deserves.
