Massa's character could change Ferrari's plans?

[Sleeper]

Who says Felipe would be trailing Kimi if his car wouldn't have left him down in Oz? He out qualified Kimi in both races since then.

I dont know, he got thouroughly out raced by Kimi at Sepang, andout raced Kim in Bahrain so I'd say their even at the moment, but it did look like Kimi had the edge on Massa, who looked rattled, in Melbourne.

Raikkonen says his problem is qualifying, if it is and he gets it sorted, I dont see Massa keeping up with him unless he puts in performances like that in Bahrain every time, and I dont think he can.

It's one thing to be fast over one lap, a whole other to consistently be fast, lap after lap in the race. Kimi as fast and consistent, something Massa can only dream of.

IMHO Kimi will show Massa the way this season.

I think whichever of their drivers has the most points at the end of the season will be considered their number 1

Maybe Ferrari will consider having two #1's. :

If Ferrari have a number one and a number two, will they remember to wipe?

I think that it's too early in the year to say anything. Remember that David Coulthard twice led the World Championship at the beginning of the year, and neither of those translated into anything.

The actual trends will emerge, it's just that there's not enough data yet.

Massa may become the tifosi's number 1!His hot character makes all ferrari funs love this guy.

Since when did Massa become a "hot character" . From what I can tell, he doesn't come out to the public anymore than any of the other drivers.

In fairness to Massa, he was completely blocked by Heidfeld, so he couldn't compete with Kimi.

If we look at the practice times, and qualifying though, Massa was quicker than Kimi in all the friday's practice sessions, as well as saturday, and in qualifying (Q1&2&3!). And he had the fastest lap - nearly 0.4s quicker than Kimi. On that evidence, I'd say Massa was the quicker of the two.

However, Kimi doesn't make mistakes like Massa does, and deservedly scored more points. But so far, I'd say Massa has shown to be the quickest driver this year, when you look at the practice sessions, the qualifying sessions, and the races Quickest doesn't always mean best though :

yeah agree, Massa is the quickest than everyone, and agree again that quickest doesn't mean the best, but it's more as a way to be the best

That is Massa, the quickest and the messiest man
