Massa is cleaning up the lazy drunkard Kimi during testing and hopefully will carry this form into the race calendar.

Go Massa :up:

Sure....

It will be very interesting to see the car reliability of BOTH cars.
Remember how Ruben's car was the one that almost always went kaputs.

Michael's positive reliability ratio must be another of his many records.

Only time will tell on this one and I hope both drivers get equall treatment from their team.

race

Now 555, remember, this is a family forum, and there are Finns reading the board. Watch your language, please.

I think Michael would have won the title in 2006 if he was as good as he once was, because his car was the class of the field overall, though Renault had an edge at the start.

I quite like Massa. In fact, now Schumacher is retired, I'd be happy to support Ferrari. And this is not MS bashing, he just rubbed me up the wrong way with his arrogance, and his driving into people tactics. I don't despute he was one of the best drivers though, I just never liked the guy.

And, as a parallel with Senna, at least Senna admitted he rammed Prost on purpose, has MS admitted to the Hill/Villeneuve stuff? So I cannot see MS being revered in years to come like Senna is....

Guys. Please dont dig too much into testing. Look at Massa's history. He is just way too inconsistent. There is no way he can beat Kimi over the full season. Unless the F2007 becomes like the F2004 and Kimi screws up too much, I just cant see Massa becoming WDC.

Over the course of a complete race, Massa just does not have the consistency. His lap times will show that he is not WDC material. Mark my words Felipe is just not good enough to win WDC.

Let's wait and see F1rocks, all we can do is wait and see.
What we do know for sure is that it's going to be dam interesting.

This new season, with all it's changes is a wonderful thing for us that go nuts with F1.
I can't wait for those red lights to go green and see the cars go for that first corner . . . .
Can't wait.

Massa is making it a habit!

I know it's only practice. Bla, bla, bla!

I wouldn't blame it on practice. Massa has been running the latest spec Aero, intended for Australia. Seems to be a good step up from the debut spec aero.

Kimi has been pretty close to Massa in all testing and most of the time in either year old, or old spec equipment.

From what I read the only time Kimi got to run the Aussie spec aero was Wednesday afternoon. All fast times have been set in the morning, including massa's.

Think about that for a little before jumping to conclusion...
