Fickle, definitely fickle.
But thats no different than 95% of fans of any other sport. When one of the fundamental principles on which all sports are built is competition - almost forcing people to take sides - it's hardly surprising.
Did Massa mess-up? Yup.
But his intentions were good (overtake!) and no one other than him suffered.
Both, I think. Its the same with any sport.
Also, many of you are appearing to write off Massa despite the fact there is still 15-something more races this season. Okay, he stuffed up and drove a dismal race, but I'm damn sure he'll work hard not to stuff up like this again. Give him a chance, he's still bloody quick.
It's not just one performance, it's his whole career. I vividly remember him taking himself and his team-mate out in Monaco 2005, and lots of these stupid mistakes have happened during his career.Quote:

Not too vividly obviously, because it was Villeneuve who took Massa out. Not the other way round.Quote:
