If the season will be such overwhelmed by Ferrari as their news do right now, here on Crash, the title fight should be decided, in their favour, already.

"I have always said that Felipe was one of the best drivers around and I still remember that some people smiled when I said this last year,” he said. “He and I have always helped one another, day by day and I expect him to always be very close to me in terms of performance"

Hmmm...

"Fernando is faster than you do you understand?......good lad"

Doesn't matter how strong Felipe is if the car isn't up to scratch, when the car is good, Felipe's performances are good.

'Alonso expects stronger Massa'

thats because ferrari have told him that we are no longer going handicap massa

Felipe ended 2011 a little stronger than at the start of that year as well. And look what happened the following year.

It seems he only drives well when he's under pressure of losing his seat.

Also, both drivers started off equal at the beginning of the year in a dog of a car. Its just that Fernando was able to figure it out and deal with it quicker.

Hmm..and Bromance continues....

taz. at end of last year, it was "flip is faster than you. understand?"

@richard

Your absolutely correct, I don't see anything changing in the balance of power at Ferrari though in 2013.

Massa needs to be stronger next year to support Alonso in winning the Championship.
