F1 » Massa: Points gap can swing

Thats the spirit Felipe...the power of positive thinking.It can accomplish wonders. Hopefully your team will get its act together and wont let you down this time !!

Ahaa, you've got the mentality to be the true champion! A mentality to view that the best thing for you still could be happen. I hope Ferrari team will not fail to support you this time. Some people might think that praying to win is crazy solution but for me it is better to be crazy. So crazy but win the championship! Massa for 2008 title!

You are absolutely correct he does have the mentality of a true champion. Now all he needs is the skill!

For me if Massa wins the title, it will be because Mclaren slip up!

I'm not being funny here, but surely if he DIDN'T think like that he shouldn't be in F1 at all... Certainly not in a Championship-winning car...!

@ Marc, Massa has more wins and pole positions than Hamilton. At this point in the season it is more true that if Hamilton wins the title it will be because Ferrari have slipped up.

Mark
Massa has five wins,Hamilton four!
Massa's greatest win was at Spa!He was so fast that nobody saw the way he ovetook Hamilton!Lightspeed!!!!

the difference savas in spa is firstly massa didn't perform use a run off area to pass a rival then half heatedly give it back.. and marc massa has made fewer mistakes this year and driven better than hamilton so he will deserve the championship and anybody that says he doesn't hasn't got a clue what they are talking about

I think you will find that either of the front 2 will be worthy champs. They have both had their ups and downs, and both tams have made **** ups. It is however a team sport, with an emphasis on TEAM. I dont think you could say either driver would not deserve it should they win the wdc.

You only have to look at the respective teammates to see that they are both shining examples of determination and skill. What lewis has in one area fellipe doesnt and visa versa. The only defining point for me is that the ferrari is much much faster, if they could harness that speed in a positive way like shumi used to they would have the title wrapped up by now.

Still, no shoulda would couldas!!!

Savas I will give you Spa but even with that you could hardly say neither of these guys deserves the title. If Ferrari did not botch the pit stop in Singapore Massa would most likely have won so in that respect a Ferrari "slip up" benefitted Hamilton. If McLaren had hands down the fastest car and Lewis had the most poles or fastest laps then I may agree that if Massa wins Mclaren "slipped up". They are very even so both would be worthy.

I hope that if Massa wins, it is by more than four points so the Spa decission becomes irrelevant.

Massa knows that he is the underdog in this title battle but nkoiws that he still has every chance of stealing the title away from Lewis Hamilton, but he still has more to lose than Hamilton, simply because he knows that he has to more gambles than Hamilton as he needs to close the gap between himself and Hamilton by 3 points a race, while Hamilton knows tthat he has to just keep finishing and playing the percentages and not always have to chase wins, and that Hamilton will win the title not just through Ferrari's mistakes but also through his own consistency.
