Since this conversation had nothing to do with the Mercedes Support thread, I moved it here to respond to it.
Should have done it, before responding the first time, eh?
...Lol what a loser. [Massa] Can't take it that the better driver won that year. Bet he still thinks he lost it all because of the Singapore GP.
I beg to differ! I'm sure that any driver at this level of competition would recognize that a season isn't won or lost in one race.
Sure, in retrospect, when a driver wins/loses by one point, it can be argued that points coulda... shoulda... woulda... been had
in any one particular race; but, in the end, it's a season long endeavour, even if it is a nail-biter from beginning to end.
I'm sorry but have you seen his comments about that year? He was particularly angry with Nelsinho and the times he kept repeating to the media of how "he should've won the Singapore GP and thus the Championship"...did you miss all this? He's made quite an effort to remind everyone about how his Singapore GP got screwed (factually it was his own mechanics who f**ked him up ) and some people still haven't heard all this moaning, poor Flipper.
I'm sorry; but, do you realize that F1 drivers are human? That they actually feel disappointment and frustration?
That they say things, in the heat of the moment, that they may later regret? Or, is that only a characteristic that
is acceptable only in your own favourite driver? 2008 was not meant to be! Sure, it's easy to be philosophical and
to wax lyrical; but, it is what it is. That was the closest Massa got to the WDC, possibly the closest he will ever get.
p.s. Mind you, I could see where it's easier to deflect comments/opinions about that final race in Brazil!
