Massa has become the defacto team leader, certainly in terms of the affection with which he is held within the garage. It shouldn't ever have happened, but then the fault for that isn't with Ferrari or the little Brazilian.
I think the correct term should be that Massa is the "performance #1 driver" at Ferrari over the last two seasons up to his crash at the last race. Kimi's huge salary clearly indicates who Ferrari thought the #1 driver should be. The last two seasons have proved the opposite with the Brazilian outperforming his Finnish counterpart.Quote:

We all know Kimi has a fairly low work ethic and prefers to pitch up and drive before heading home to put on a gorilla suit and have a few drinks. Thats his nature and he aint gonna change.Quote:

Well I meant that Massa could be axed on the supposition that Alonso joins the team. We all know that Alonsita requires a great deal of attention, so another driver that could directly compete against him wouldn't go down too well.Quote:

He didn't have that kind of situation at Mclaren.Quote:

Since this is a Ferrari fans thread, shouldn't you already know the answer since, by defintion, you must be one? Or are you just a troll?Quote:

Sporting ethics had feck all to do with it, as anybody who has met Frank Williams will tell you. He made a decision to benefit himself...nothing wrong with that...but only the keenest cock-sucking British fans would believe it was done in the interests of fair play. That is typical British F1 fan BS, to be expected from a mob with only an IQ of 5 between it.

Massa was "performance #1 driver" at Ferrari over LAST season, this season they were pretty evenly matched with Kimi outqualifying Massa more often than not and Massa having an upper hand in some of the races due to pace, some due strategy. Check the statistics.Quote:
