oh wait... we're talking about Hamilton and not Massa.
And you have the nerve to say Glock slowed down. Of course you forget drives like Hockenheim where Hamilton was given duff strategies and still managed to get wins. That was the difference between Hamilton and Massa in 2008.
No excuses, just facts. Ferrari did mess up at crucial points. Look through Ferrari's past. They always self destruct at crucial times.
The rain in Brazil was only in the last couple of laps and was pretty light compared to Silverstone where is hosed down for the whole race.
And I didn't say that Glock slowed down - I said it was possible. So no nerve needed.
No facts here, just opinion and interpretation.
You have a real chip on your shoulder, don't you? Lewis won, Massa lost,
that is the fact of the matter.
As for Spa, your assertion is incorrect. He did not go off track to pass. He went off track to avoid a collision (thus doing himself
and Kimi a favour). He then gave the position back and went for it, pulling off a fairly good overtaking maneouvre under brakes to do so. Your men were showed up on track, but were lucky the stewards weren't kind to Lewis.
Even if we could all agree Massa should rightly be WDC in 2008, it would be then fair to say that Lewis should rightly be WDC in 07. However many podiums in a row, on debut, shows up his double WDC teammate, as a rookie, and it only comes unstuck for one DNF in China and technical issues in Brazil. The world was unfortunate to miss out on perhaps one of the most glorious sporting achievements in recent memory that year, but there's no point crying about it now. Same goes for your buddy boy in 08.
And to put icing on the cake he blew away a 2XWDC on his way there.
