Guys, I like Massa a lot. I think he's got the talent but his head is not in the game as consistently as in the past. But he can definitely be quick. Nevertheless, you have to be willfully blind to think that Alonso is not better than him.

For sure!

So is Fernando the only driver to be on the technical team within his team , Nice add on there! I guess they have to come up with a reason to pay him so much if his driving isnt enough

His driving is plenty, he just happens to also be technical. I'm impressed that his whining on the radio has reduced this year, as has Hamilton's and Vettel's. While we all know and realize that racing drivers at that level are a bunch of spoiled, whining, babies...its irritating to hear them crying over the radio as often as they used to. I wonder if the FIA didn't say something to the teams about image.

In any event, good for Alonso. The entire island of GB said his personality would melt down the Ferrari team and it appears to be exactly the opposite.

Well, to be fair, SV having won 3 out of 4 races this season (plus a second place) hasn't had much reason to whine. But don't you worry - it'll come, it'll come...
