And his overtake at brazil didn't cost him the title it was the gear box falure that cost him the title because he was still in contention after the messy overtake attempt.

Yes, that's correct . Although it's never been determined what caused the gear box failure, the most probable theory was going over the curbing and through the runoff area at those speeds did something to the ECU.

Without a doubt, one of the most reckless maneuvers in F1 history. He should have just stayed where he was(P4-championship), settled down, and then gone after them. You don't win a race(or a championship), in the fourth turn of the first lap.

No, you seen how they go over the curbs at monza? far more agressive than brazil.

besides the fact the ECU is electronic box with solid state storage no doubt so jolts and bumps wouldn't affect it whatsoever.

Its easy for you to sit at your nice comfy chair and say he should of settle down but he was a rookie and he reacted to the situation.

Eitherway hes WDC 2008 so all good.

Montoya in Australia 06 bumped over the curbs in doing so triggered the engine management system to turn off the cars engine thinking it was in an accident. So its possible something similar happened back then in 07 too.

I said it was a THEORY. No one will everknow what happened to the gear box. One question. What information do you put in the IMG tag to add a picture to your signature?

Yeh but that was more instant if i remeber, lewis continued for several laps before his gearbox issue.

Yeah.. Well done Massa. That's why drivers don't come up with the rules...Their intelligence is compromised.

[headless]

Why-- will he never be the man? Because he has no where near the talent, skill and guts that Lewis Hamilton has and he's jealous of him. Plus the evil red team know they have to cheat, bend the rules and influence the stewarts to get points. We have 3 weeks to go and the world will see how truly great Lewis Hamilton is!!!

i respect massa he did a good job last year and made slightly fewer mistakes than Lewis his team and engine however messed up.

Lewis is a worthy WDC but Massa showed he has skill and tallent.

Comming out with crap like that just shows your a typical LH fanboy glory hunter.

Yep. Typical Hamilton bum boy.

[JackBauer]

Maybe Massa should try to win the championship with the current rules before changing them!!
