Massa Who?
Yet again Filipe Massa finishes out of the points.
Is it really worth Ferrari keeping him? IMHO - No!
I think it's time for the team to sit down and seriously consider his position in the team. Should Bahrian be his last race? Surely a pointless finish again would spell the end?

He finished only 5 seconds off Fernando, dispite going on a stratergy that meant that his tyres were going to end up being knackard. I don't think he did too bad today.

I thought that Massa had quite a good race today, but unfortunately, Ferrari didn't.

He didn't do too terribly today; it's just that Ferrari are considering their resources, somewhat disastrous.

He's not been the same driver since his accident, and much as I like the guy, I think it's clear he's not going to get back to his previous form, and it's time for Ferrari to look elsewhere for the future.
Having said that, there are probably bigger problems going on at Ferrari at the moment, so I'm not expecting a possible driver change mid-season to really solve anything...

I thought Felipe did a very good job today, it's plain to that the car is a real handful...

I thought Alonso had a far more erratic race than Massa. Massa just seemed to stay quiet didn't mount much resistance to anything whilst Alonso was having a crack at all and sundry but just getting it thrown back in his face, offs..etc.

Well Ferrari are stuck with him until years end. Perez said he is sticking with Sauber until the end of the season on the weekend

Yes I agree, the track was full of marbles off the racing line..

also felt it was a solid race from massa. he might not be the same driver since the accident but that hardly means he was better than alonso before it either or would be after it...although i actually found myself wondering what massa could have done with a two stopper in a sauber.

In conclusion, this topic could have been posted on any race over the past 2 years, other than this one, and people would have agreed 
He had a good race in a crap car.

Actually, he did drive quite well today. He was on the wrong strategy, but still a decent race from him. However, it does look like he will be out by the end of the year.

Get Massa into a Sauber - I'm sure he could do better with a less Alonso-specific car under him.
