    Massa blaming himself again? Either way, the timing of his first pit stop was totally wrong. And his lap times at the start of the race were consistent with alonso s. I still think he could have been fighting for the final podium spot with a better strategy.

    That's cool, the stop may have been late but unless FM is lying, it is when he put on the freakin' primes he had problems. Bring him in earlier, and the earlier his problems would have started.
    May the forza be with you

    Gutierrez is the donkey of the race with a special mention to Grosjean who was nowhere compared to Kimi.

    Mark Webber is the Donkey of the year. Somebody would have to show up on the grid drunk as a skunk to take that tittle away from Mr. Vinegar & Water.

    Massa said he is still struggling for answers to explain his eventual 40-second deficit to Alonso.
    "It's difficult to understand exactly what happened today, because the start went very well," Massa said.

    Pirelli has created exactly the tire that the FIA have asked for. The only people that bitch about the tires are those that have favorite drivers/ teams that are not doing well on them, namely Red Bull and Mercedes.
    How about those complainers award Donkey to the named team engineers? That would be appropriate.

    About Massa. Alonso was ahead, so got first stop call. Sure they could have stacked them like Mercedes, but how do you finish 50 seconds after the race ends? He says he had tire issues? Well then Felipe, perhaps learning how to keep 'em alive is in order? Perhaps he deserves donkey? Afterall, surely he had the same car as Alonso. No?

    Pirelli tires are terrible. First, they rob us of seeing an all out fight in the qualification session. More than half of all cars did not even leave the pits before the it was less than half of Q1 left left. A lot of cars often choose not to even run in Q3. Next, the fact that the soft tires last only five laps is ridiculous. No team would use them at all in the Chinese race if they weren't required. These tires are not designed to make cars go fast. They're simply meant to create a good show with all cars in and out of pits every 10 laps. These tires have simply lowered the bar to make the race interesting to complete neophytes who get to see order shuffled frequently and constant pit action all the time. I don't really consider this good racing. I say bring back the tire wars now. At that point no tire manufacturer would dare to bring such mediocre tire to a race.
