Felipe Massa should be fired

[Tom Castellani]

I agree with Ciro, to save time I'm just gonna quote myself from the German GP thread;

Now, despite not being a fan of Massa's I'm very unbiased and feel that every driver on the grid deserves their place and I can't criticize one of them. Put yourself in his shoes, your car isn't performing well, your brakes are fading and a car that wasn't behind you a couple laps ago is now right up your gearbox. What does that tell you? He's quicker than you! Simple, you can put up a fight and make yourself wide as possible or he's going to get past. Now going into the hairpin, he's inches away from you in the slip and you're going into a hard braking zone with high constantina effect. Either you brake and run the risk of him smashing into the back of you or you push it and out-brake yourself to avoid the former happening but run very wide in the process. The logical step is to move aside... Sure you could get overtaken but you're now in a position to fight back, exactly what Massa did. Unfortunately his comeback was unsuccessful and again, I think Lewis had every right to make it hard for Massa.

So for those of you who are saying Massa was being wimpy, he's a racer and would have known everything I just explained. There is of course a championship at stake as well and the last thing he would want is a silly retirement over 3rd.

Sure if he is lucky, he will get the championship this year. Just remember this, both Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneueve won one championship and could never repeat it again which proves that a proper car can win for you even if you are not great.

So beating the current WDC is not a good enough measure? If anything it is Kimi who will end up like Hill and Villeneuve.

I don't understand the hate. Massa is thinking long term. Hamilton was clearly faster. Had he drove defensively then he would have lost a lot of time. Remember how close Heidfeld was to him at the finish? Had he tried blocking Hamilton, he might have lost his place to Heidfeld. Now that's what you call mature driving.

It would be good if felipe mass went to McLaren
