You are right, But both drivers have to play it fair on and off track.

Otherwise it gets dirty, as in 2007.

I hear this is the new theme song over at Ferrari. Any truth in it? :D

For a proper intra-team row both drivers should be capable of performing at the highest level. If one guy is underperforming, he doesn't have much room for complaints other than concentrating on his own (lack of) performance. Let's take a look at current Mercedes - Michael can do nothing about demanding a #1 status, he himself must start performing first.

What I mean is that hopefully Massa can raise his game and turn this battle into a real heated rivalry. If Alonso keeps driving faster than him, there is not much for the Spaniard to worry about.

The trouble was IMO that in two races in which Alonso was faster, circumstances put him behind Felipe and in China he decided that he had enough. IMO his move was brilliant.

If Alonso pulled that move he did on Massa in China to another human than Massa, that human will be eager to get revenge, and not a light one.


I belive Massa is human.

Rivalry between Johnson and Gordon at Hendrick is seen as pretty healthy and good for the sport.

Why isn't this the case with Massa & Alonso?

Or he'll tow the corporate line and behave himself and wait for Alonso to bite first as the season hots up.. :)

You got a point there. I forgot that Massas contract runs out this year.

Because desperate Mclaren fans want to be able to say that it wasn't Ron Dennis's dreadful management that was to blame for two drivers falling out?

It is funny and desperate that Hamilton's supporters are so keen to see Fernando and Felipe falling out.

Nobody else seems to bothered about what is a normal state of affairs between team-mates.

I am not bothered at what goes on between Massa and Alonso, but once again, the ferrari fan turns his nose up at mclaren fans :rolleyes:
