FIA+FERRARI= BULLESHEETE!!!
I know who is the real winner at Belgium GP 2008.

Who Kimi Raikkonen? Who asked for it to rain in the last 3 laps anyway............. Stupid weather! How about start favouring the red cars for a change weather conditions. Although I was amazed that Felipe Massa didn't lose it not even once. Kimi lost it of course and Lewis Hamilton was all over the place but Massa seemed like he kept it straight the whole way. Not bad for someone who almost everyone considers to be crap in the wet.

Massa didnt have the balls to fight for the win he was too far down the road

He was playing it safe. He wasn't that far down. Only around 5 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton for most of the race.

Massa's decision was a smart one. He knows he can't drive in the wet to save himself and, even if he could, his car would not really allow it.

Was Massa not catching Hamilton at the end of the race?

Yes. In the dry. Had it not rained when it did, Massa may have brought the gap down to two seconds or so, but I don't think he would have had enough laps left to do much else. Had he pitted for wet tyres, he might have won the race. Heidfeld was not far off. Had the race carried on for one more lap, I think he would have won that one, but alas, it was not to be so.

i dont think he was playing it safe by choice! he had no chance of the win especially in those conditions. the boys with balls, well one boy with balls was fighting for the win up front

Throwing yourself all-out for the win in conditions that will most likely see you record a DNF result is not balls, it's stupidity. Sometimes it takes balls not to push yourself beyond your limits.

Kimi it did didnt it! Hamilton on the other hand kept it on track! and knowing the repercussions and being willing to take that risk for every extra point is what id call ballsy!

ballsy/stupidy the lines are blurred between the two, only the outcome determines if it was ballsy or stupid!

Hamilton had two advantages over Massa in this case, though, and one over Raikkonen. His car is far better to drive than the Ferrari in the wet, and he is a much better wet-weather driver. So maximising points was Massa's smartest option. To have tried to catch and pass Hamilton on cooling tyres and a driving style that really does not suit a wet track would have been idiocy and would have seen him sixteen(?) points behind Hamilton, rather than eight.
