I'm pretty sure as far as Singapore '08 is concerned, Massa needs to be blaming his engineers or whoever triggered the green light to release him with the fuel rig attached. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Piquet and as far as I know, no one from Renault was in the Ferrari pit.

I expected it would only be a matter of time before Massa started mouthing off about one thing or another and I expect he'll do it some more. I remember how Richard Hammond said that after *his* brain-whacking accident, his emotional state was hair-trigger and he'd get pissed off about anything at the drop of a hat. I think Massa is probably going to get back into the game too fast.

There is something about Massa I just can't stand. I can't really put my finger on it, but he just really irritates me.

Massa needs to grow up, and instead of blaming Renault, he needs to consider all the mistakes HE made, and all the opportunities HE didn't capitalize on.

Massa/Alonso are actually good friends, but it could be somewhat strained after this merely by association. Ol' Teflon' Alonso emerges unscathed after being at the center of another ethics controversy. Go finger...

@Number_Six: Hamilton, Button, and Barrichello are my favorite drivers by far. They're articulate, they're personable, and they're great competitors. To me, the other drivers are just there as foils. Plus, Sasha Baron Cohen ruined Alonso for me...I can't even see Alonso without thinking of Jean Girard.

The really weird stuff is that Glock lost more than 15secs in that last lap alone in Interlagos.
Lap 66 1:17.992
Lap 67 1:18.897
Lap 68 1:18.816
Lap 69 1:18.688
Lap 70 1:28.041
Lap 71 1:44.731

@Hyrax, the pyrax: If I remember correctly, that was because he was on slicks on a slightly wet track with more rain coming down, while everyone else was on intermediates. Worsening conditions is why he lost 15 seconds in 1 lap...

Didn't Massa have a fuel rig problem at Singapore that cost him his race?

@Jeb_Hoge: If you tried to take the safety car out of the equation, I think Hamilton would gain a couple of points (2nd instead of 3rd) and Massa would probably still finish out of the points.

Of course, Massa want the race declared void, and it just so happens that it wouldn't impact his point total, but would screw Hamilton out of the championship.

Will Schumacher's neck ever recover? Or would this prohibit any future return to F1 as well?

Luca (music by Suzanne Vega)
Hello, my name is Luca
Last name is Badoer
I drive Ferraris, I do
Yes, you’ve heard of me before
You might hear I’m no better’n meat
Replacing Schumi, taking Massa’s seat
Just don’t ask me to finish first
Just don’t ask me to finish first
Just don’t ask me to finish first
It’s because they think I’m mediocre
My record doesn’t talk too loud
Maybe because I’m a grid backmarker
I try not to act too proud
Especially after the Euro GP when I cried
Gearbox broke, don’t ask me why
Coulda finished fourth, still never scored a point
Coulda finished fourth, still never scored a point
Coulda finished fourth, still never scored a point
Yes, I think I’ll do OK
Seat’s earned thru test driver pain
Well, if you ask that’s what I’ll say
And it’s Ferrari’s business anyway
Yes, I’d like to be in Formula One
But heavy odds that I’m "one and done"
Just hope I finish higher than seventh
Just hope I finish higher than seventh
Just hope I finish higher than seventh

In reply to Schumacher Cancels F1 Comeback
This seems a bit suspect to me. You'd think that his medical condition would have been thoroughly investigated prior to his decision to announce a return. My guess is that Ferarri had some signficant updates that they wanted to test out on the F60 w/ Schumi at the wheel, and with William's Veto prohibiting any in-season testing allowances, they can't guarantee him a competitive advantage.

@HammSammich: That's a little harsh. In February's motorcycle accident Schumi took "a heavy tumble and may have been briefly knocked unconscious after his head hit the tarmac."
His anguish at not returning seems heartfelt in the BBC report.
Maybe this will make everyone ease up on criticizing Danica Patrick's strong neck.
