The man undoubtedly has some talent and has 11 races left to make his case. Brilliant start today and considering the tire issue a well-earned 6th.
I think in some ways the accident in Hungary several years ago still haunts him, probably a lot easier to shake off a crash that was your fault than one you had no control over.
Agreed.
He was pissed about the tyres today. Good end result for him c9nsidering though.
He is not consistent enough. Massa, in fact, has not been been the same since the accident four years ago.
He had severe physical damage to his brain. Even though the brain tries to compensate for the damaged parts, sometimes it just doesn't work out perfectly. For doing something like racing a F1 car, just a small difference can mean a lot.
I remember when Mika Häkkinen had an accident where he suffered severe head damage. Many considered it a miracle that not only did he live, but that he recovered fully.
Holy cow. That was a very eventful race and I'm still surprised by what happened with the tires. Honestly I think it was a major safety concern and I want to see what Pirelli ends up saying.
I was happy for Webber though. A couple more laps and he probably would have won, he did really well as did Hamilton.
Some interesting quotes this morning, particularly from Charlie Whiting, who says he almost red-flagged the race over tires and Whitmarsh rattling cages about a possible boycott, headed into the race in Germany next week.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they did boycott. Can't blame them either.
I hope this will send a message to the Bernie to stop ****ing with the tyres.
I have to disagree with Jackie Stewart regarding eliminating pit-stops though as mentioned in the last link. I'll be pissed if that happens. As will many other fans I'm sure.
I do agree with his comment about lifting the ban against in-season testing though.
From former German tennis great Boris Becker: "Fortunately they (Pirelli) don't make condoms,"
