    Voted for Massa purely for that Overtake which livened up the race :) Honorable mentions for Di Resta and Glock aswell

    Clicked on Massa and thought I might be slated but a lot of people have thought the same. Did a great job fighting through the field and that pass on Senna well I dont know how he pulled it off.


    He seems to be getting back to the form before his crash. It took a long time though.

    DiResta for me. I'm no great fan but that was a great drive in a midfield car. He'd have been on the podium if not for the second safety car.

    Voted for Dougal (DiResta) because it was his best finish in formula 1. Massa drove very well also!

    Without Massa, I would have genuinely stumped here to pick someone. I think Massa showed a bit of that old fighting form...maybe there's hope for him yet

    he did well.
    Has he done enough to stay, where would he go.

    More & more I can see him staying, as long as he can support Alonso & bring home some constructors points...I think he will have a chance of staying

    Went for di riesta.
    Pity massa got the puncture, considering the pace he had in the race.
    Good drive from rosberg also.

    He gained way too many places by cutting the first corner, I know he had to do it to avoid collisions, but it made his finishing place artificially high

    Far too much of that going on last weekend, it was getting a silly at one stage. A few people got some really good starts and made up a load of places only to loose a few by having to avoid people coming back onto the track in front of them.

    I can't remember who it was, but there was definitely someone who sped up as they cut the corner, rather than slowing down to 'merge' safely

    Yea. MS lost out quite badly to Nico who should (along with others) have been told to give the places back.

    The safety car helped Glock. 53 races now without a point after podiums with toyota, awful.

    That's hardly fair to say. Timo has driven very well over the last three years-much to the same level as Kovalianen for much of that period. He's hampered by a poor car so points arent possible but it's hardly the fault of the drivers

    Massa's drive wasn't overly impressive, I can only imagine the relief under that helmet when he didnt take out Senna- the move could have gone either way just as well luck was on his side. Re his seat- it should be going to one of the younger more promising drivers- Massa had his day and didnt make it- time for him to move on.....

    I meant it must be awful for Timo.
