I dont know if any one here taped the race but I think David Hobbs said that it seem like Massa was slowing down because he was down on his times.
if memory serves, about the last 5 laps we completed were off the pace that he had been setting, the writing was on the wall, it was just something that happens, im sure it didn't have anything to do with his performance in the first lap of the race.

WE? You work For Ferrari? LOl That has plenty to do with performance. The moment he blew I think Kimi backed off because he was gunning for Timo and he would have past him.

I don't understand why everyone is so confused by Massa's pace? The guy had the fastest lap in Q2, he had the fastest car... period. He said he didn't get a good lap in Q3, thats the only reason he didn't get the pole. His driving had nothing to do with his engine failure. Guys back off at the end of the race all the time...

You are so correct. I usually go for 4 hour drives/rides on these weekends to get my fix. Hopefully, we'll be blessed with another masterful MM performance next week. Till then, MotoGp will hold me over this weekend.

Red fans better pray for a dry track. PK Jr will probably hit a wall regardless of weather conditions. I feel it's going to be a strong showing from Rai, Massa, and Hami. Can't wait.
