I don't belive he is you can't change the rules now mid season can you

it does need to be changed for next season however
They've been known to before. Mass dampers anyone?
thats a technical regulation that affects the car.

Not the driver.
Which makes it infinitely harder to change fairly. This rule should have been changed the moment it came up.

In my view, it's too late to change the rules for this season. Alguersuari and Schumacher's situations (or something similar) could easily crop up again this season, so consistency needs to be maintained. The rules must be revised for next season, however.

Well all love Massa and i think after what has happened i doubt any one will say 'No' to Massa testing!!
Why should he get any special treatment??? The other teams said no to Schumacher so why would they treat Massa any differently? some one early said 'rules are rules' and i agree!!
Well i think Williams hates him for other reasons, would you give Mike tyson a year to train up for one fight if he was set to fight in 3 weeks? No. Because you know Mike Tyson would still kill you. Massa is a different story, no one will have problems against him. Sheeesh! If they do. man I'm going to form a union and strike :cloud9:

I seriously doubt that Massa would feel aggrieved if he didn't recieve special favours from everyone else, so don't get too worked up about it. :P
