Hey All,

Right outta your first article...


He does not hide that Hockenheim 2010, when he was told ‘Fernando (Alonso) is faster than you’, was the low point.

“They did not let me win a race that I deserved,” said Massa. “It was not just the team order that hurt me, but the fact that I had come back from a very bad accident. It would have been very important to me.”



I assume it is just as true today as then.

True or not?

From Wikipedia (best I could find on a 30 second search):


...As of 2011, the team orders rule no longer appears in the sporting regulations...

Hey All, Right outta your first article... I assume it is just as true today as then. True or not? -Ed- Yes, but Alonso and Massa are no longer team mates.. Betting on Massa seems like a good deal; the Mercedes engine seems to be the most powerful of the field, and the Williams car was the most reliable during the winter tests. It stopped on track only once, when Williams tried to break it by seeing just how far it would go... All the others have had considerable problems all winter long. I don't think Felipe will take the title as others have more money to develop the car, but I think he can take a win early season.

And to have the Martini colours back is a plus, car looks good, goes good. Hopefully Williams will have a good year, they have been far to long in the wilderness.

Stating the obvious, think a Merc powered car will Sunday. Being a Brit I should cheer for Hamilton, but sorry he really is annoying and whinging. Rosberg just went out there and did the job and I hope he get the Championship. Although would like Button to get a second championship.

Well..
I'm a Yank but I like both Lewis & Nico so it's a 'win/win' situation for me....:mixed-smiley-010:
