Massa pins blame on Hamilton for Fuji clash.

Sort Comments:

Massa pins blame on Hamilton for Fuji clash.

Felipe Massa is adamant that he did nothing wrong in tipping Formula 1 World Championship rival Lewis Hamilton into a spin in the Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji today – despite coming under fire from many in the sport for his rash move.

He cut the corner & hit Hamilton, simple as that, Massa totally & utterly in the wrong. I do wish F1 would come back to reality.

A racing incident?????? When you're in the wrong it's a racing incident or you're effing at your opponents for daring to pass you. Do you want to borrow my glasses and look at the replay?

i dont believe i'm doing this....but I dont think Hamilton was to blame for the Massa incident in any way...Massa got over excited, couldnt brake in time, went wide and scythed his way back onto the track and into the side of the Mclaren...its beyond me that Massa can actually say something like this with a straight face...obviously he aint going to blame himself but to come out and lay the blame squarely at somebody else is nothing more than childish...had it been 2 other drivers it wouldnt have been any more than a racing incident in his opinion

Schumacher has obviously been much more than a mentor to Massa, he's actually coached him in what to say to avoid getting the blame for dubious driving....cretin

Of course it wasn't Massa fault, surely everyone knows the rules by now. If your in an incident with a Ferrari it's always your fault never there's. Stupid Hamilton what was he doing driving on the tarmac like that when Massa was clearly making a short cut, he should have backed off and let him have the place, silly boy. Learn the rules, well there are 2 rule books these days, one for Ferrari (one rule - you can do what you want), and one for everyone else (huge rule book).
I knew this would happen.

At least Hamilton had the humility to admit the incident he caused was HIS fault. I can't believe Felipe thought he did nothing wrong and said Lewis caused the accident. That he blamed Bourdais and said he thought he did nothing just does it for me. Before I read what Massa said on both counts, I would have been quite happy for him to win the Formula One Driver's Championship, but **** him, I'd rather Kubica win it, at least he doesn't need the FIA's help to keep him in there!

Outrageous. This sport has been sullied time and time again by the FIA and it's arbitrary rule enforcement actions. How can causing a crash be given the same penalty as an alleged true racing incident (the late braking). Has Hamilton been showing poor judgement due to the "red mist" overcoming him? Sure. Has the FIA been absolutely biased in its adjudication of the "rules"? No other conclusion can be reached. I have actively promoted F1 to my friends as being more pure than "stick and ball" sports because of lack of overly aggressive oversight by officials. The last 2 seasons have made a liar of me. When will this end?

Just how many of these idiots that post comments on this site live out side the UK.I would think very few. Hamilton is a very talented driver, that nobody can dispute but when you see what the other guys are doing in far less competitive cars it makes you think who really has the talent. The star of 2008 has been J.Trulli, dont laugh but just look at his results this year and see how many times he has trouble with the judges. 2005,2006 and Fernando had no problems with them,come 2007 and he is the bad guy,come 2008 and Rubens and Kimi are the bad guys (in the eyes of the British press) As for Ferrari. "No Ferrari No F1". Hamliton in my view is about No 6 or 7 in ratings this season.

ramjam I agree Massa has shown little class with his needless comments. It would be great if Kubica could somehow win it.

i'm a track driver, and the way FM turned his wheel( you could see this in one of the video perspectives, left side track camera ) he was clearly aiming the left back wheel to make LH do a spin.

BMWfanatic, the first corner incident was Hamilton's fault, he admits it and I would dare say anyone in their right mind would say so too. Massa and Raikkonen have a very similar incident at the start of the race at Spa and it was totally overlooked.

Remember Hamilton wasn't at the back of the field because of the first corner,but because of that 'so-so move on Massa and then tried to cut him off', boy are you so blinkered! There was absolutely no intention of trying to make that corner, but at least when Hamilton does it, he doesn't try and take the other guy out! Hamilton never cut him off at all, he had the line and Massa was well past him. That's what would've happened at Spa

had Hamilton not taken to the run-off. The difference was that Kimi never gave Lewis any room at that corner, but there WAS room in this instance.

do we really want this idiot as WC...
Kimi might be an idiot but at least he doesn't talk.
Massa on the other hand places his foot in his mouth every other time he talks to the press...

Second time this year that Massa has been completely off the circuit and spun someone.... rewind to first round in Aus and his taking out DC, same thing, he had all four wheels off the circuit.

Massa in the wrong on this no doubt about it: lulu's two incidents with Webber and Glock totally overlooked by the officials two races ago doubtlessly had something to do with the dive bomb attack from Felipe. lulu has more adversaries than friends and the other drivers don't like his approach to racing. I'm not saying he has to be nice to everyone, but I don't think guys in the paddock will allow him to get away with those hard moves, Kubica being one of them. Massa should watch out too because this wasn't too sporty of a passing attempt.

Massa is obviously living inside his own little bubble, were he believes he is always right and never wrong, we see his two incidents today and anyone can see that he was totally at fault, yet to conjure up excuses to justify himself is a bit far. He only succeeds in loosing his creditbility, and it has been running on low for a while, todays its totally ran out. A bigger man would have said to the stewards hey guys you've got it wriong it was my fault, but the short ersed brazilian ain't many scruples and morals left either.
I wish I could speak german so I could have heard what Niki Lauda had to say on RTL and sit ofn the fence ITV did exactly that, spinless morons

Hamilton 1st corner = fair cop on the penalty but if they left him he would have needed a pit stop for the flat spotted tires.
Massa - Hamilton, 2nd lap = Massa in the wrong.
Massa - Bourdais, 1st corner = Massa in the wrong.

Hamilton = says he made a mistake at the 1st corner
Massa = everyone else at fault but him

Massa wake up.
F1 better stop penalising people in the race or we won't see any moves in the future.

At Spa all the drivers except Lewis said if there was a wall or gravel trap on the chicane he wouldn't have cut it. So how does Massa explain his move then.
We should write to the ceo's of all the sponsors suggesting that they ought to step in and start threatening to pull out unless something is done about these shameful decisions. But if you heard Max Smacky on the radio last week you'll realise where the rot originates.
