Sorry, I don't get it. Does it have something to do with the roid raging dudes on the benetton website?
 
Wow, how embarrassing for Massa - schooled by the rookie. He did a ton of damage to his reputation this weekend.

I think it's about the multi-racial people on the picture.

Oh, because both Kimi and Fernando are white...

Just because there's a black guy all of a sudden didn't really make much sense.
 
I think he meant in the way very white guy, hispanic guy, black guy. I didn't find it funny tho. A bit too subtle to catch on to.

He's Spanish, not Hispanic.

I think the joke would've been funny if Takuma Sato was there in first place, but I think we would all be laughing for other reasons.
 
During ITV's commentary, it was mentioned that one Ferrari driver earns five times more than the other one.

Its a bit obvious why, isn't it?

Not really. Massa's been doing a fine job at Ferrari. Kimi is better than him in my opinion, but not five times better.

True. However, if Ferrari get fed up with Massa, who is there for them to snatch up? Rosberg?

I don't think there really is anyone, Heidfeld perhaps? But he's getting on a bit... Kubica could be another name..

But that's way in the future anyway, Massa should be at Ferrari for a few years yet..

Massa has improved greatly but, in his battle with Hamilton, who was the rookie?
 
Massa does still have some rookie left in him for sure, and I think he just got a little over eager against Hamilton on Sunday. I've seen people do the exact same thing in GTR2 multiplayer it's not funny. He is still improving though - like one of ITV's commentators said "A couple of years ago you wouldn't have trusted him to drive your hire car." He's gotten a lot smoother and faster all the time he's been driving, it's just that little bit of rookie left in him that let him down.

Hamilton on the other hand looks like a pro already, but I think his time in GP2 has gotten him used to close wheel-to-wheel racing which allows him to keep his cool under pressure. However, I'm not sure his raw speed is quite there yet. I know he was struggling with the rear of the car in Malaysia, the back end was all over the place in the first few laps, but Massa and Raikkonon seemed to be keeping up easily, so it'll be interesting to see hom fast he in in Bahrain. Having said that, his competence and sheer cool-headedness can easily compensate for any lack in raw speed, as shown on Sunday.
 
At Malaysia he did run out of water half way through, in those kind of temperatures, it's a little hard to actually criticise the bloke.

I didn't have the chance to watch the first couple of races of this season, but judging by the highligths and the comments on the web Hamilton should be a successful pilot in F1. Massa made a mistake, actually two mistakes :p, but you can't judge a driver by one race only. I think this will be his best season to date, let's wait and see. I also think the fight between McLaren and Ferrari will be very good this year. Good for us! :)
 
At least Massa provided some early entertainment; there's nothing worse than drivers who aren't racing. credit also to Wurz, its rare to see a non-leading driver make up 11 positions.

Fisi. Because the man has been working very hard his entire F1 career to get to Ferrari.

I can certainly agree with that. 👍 It was also great to see two Ferraris side-by-side racing for position, even if it was only for a few seconds.

Actually, I think Wurz made up 10 positions, while Rubens made up 11. ;)

I think Massa has really improved as a driver, but not as a racer. There’s a difference and Sunday highlighted that.

Was that during the first pit stop at Malaysia when Alonso had no communication with the team? I think he's trying to tell Alonso to turn on his headset.

Yep. I thought his radio was broken all the time.... until I heard the team congratulating him after his victory.
 
Solid Lifters
Exactly. He'll never be good enough. People were supposed to laugh hysterically at my statement. I guess the joke is on me.

:D

Fisichella shows moments of quality, but it never lasts half a season let alone a whole season.
