Massa has always been a strange one to figure out your quite correct. He has more up and down races than just about anyone, no real consistency whatsoever.

On his tracks he can be the best, but he is a bit like Giancarlo Fisichella in a way - although overall a better driver than 'FIZZY' they are both inconsistent but can be very fast sometimes. I don't suppose Massa will win a championship though.

All you need to remember re: Massa is this.

If he was any good then Schuey would never have had him as a teammate...

-------------------------------------------------

your an idiot Schumacher was probably the best racing driver all of time and he outclassed every team mate he ever had, how can you say that massa is crap on the basis that he was Schumacher's number 2

-----------------------------------------------

I actually agree with the initial comment. MS never allowed a team mate that could threaten his dominance of the team to join and when one did he retired before we got to see if he really could hold his own against a driver from the top tier in the same machinery.

However, Massa is an enigma. When he's on form at tracks he likes he is right up there. But, time after time, he has been nothing better than anonymous at the tracks he's not fond of, Monaco this year excepted. This is the crucial difference and is the gap between him and the WDC crown. Kimi has his mishaps for sure but he is able to make the difference when it really matters as last season showed. Massa doesn't seem able to do this and maybe this is why I think he may never take a WDC crown. Of course there is time and he is still young enough to overcome these obstacles - and he is immeasurably better than he was at the start of his career.

Massa - seems like a nice guy and, on his day, unbeatable. It's just that, at the moment, those days don't happen often enough.

Sorry Massa is not a great driver he's a good driver at best and regarding the Schumi stuff when did schumi ever have a team mate that he allowed to threaten him? Brundle NO. Irvine NO. Barrichello NO. Massa NO.

Anyway Massa will have the spawn of satan as his team mate soon once Kimi "retires" so I bet he wont get a look in then!!!

Massa is a great driver and he's starting to prove it. Last year he had some awful luck and still was in the hunt right until the end.

This year he's out qualifying Kimi and never looks under pressure when in the lead of a race. He's in with a real chance this year assuming he gets a bit of luck.

spectacularsteve (U9312355) - Grow up m8 Marco Ardigo will NOT be as good in F1, he simply couldn't cut it. So don't come here speaking about karting which can make max 100 m/hr. Karting is a fun sport but DEFINITELY not near the real thing. Karting, you must be joking, I wonder how many G's you get from karting. come on m8

Massa's problem is consistency and focus. I believe he has the ability to be F1 champ but he hasnt reached his peak. Hence he continues to work on his weakness something i believe MS is assiting him with.

He might be with a top team but having MS and KR as a team mate means you have to be special to put them in your shadows. The best is yet to come from Massa and it will be interesting to see how to handles the title race this season.

Massa is a Brazilian so he is a man of mood. He is very excited when he wins and very depressed when doesn't. What I think he is missing is a consistency. and I think he will never have it because of his character. He will be a good driver but not top.

Guys a he isn't a great driver. Look at last season when Alonso barged him out of the way in the last few laps to win the race in the european gp! And the numerous times Hamilton has overtaken him! I can't remember Massa winning a race where he's had to overtake someone. He's good he's got better but he isn't great and I seriously doubt he will ever win a WDC.
