Re: Massa- career almost done?
I guess we can agree on that. It was in 2008 that Massa looked like a genuine title contender more than ever and looking back I'm afraid that was his only chance. It seems my memories on 2007 are pretty vague because of the whole spygate scandal. To me Massa in 2007 didn't seem to bother Kimi that ...

Re: Karthikeyan & the FIA hit back at Vettel
And about the crash, those are Narnain's words, not mine. First I assumed he made the move to avoid a wet part of the track but he said it was due to wheelspin, which doesn't happen randomly but rather because of mis driving the car (going into the wet kerb, taking a rather bad line and angle, acce...

I did the mistake to try and watch the Triple H movie. I dare anyone to do it! The Chaperone? I bought that as a gag for one of my pals. Never seen it though.

Pretty much how Swarth said it. Schumacher also bulked under pressure a few times in his first career, like stalling in the Japanese GP in '98. He's more relaxed now.

Re: What Is - RACECRAFT
it's the ability to combine a number of skills in order to get good results. This is opposed to having outright speed over a lap. Jean Alesi for example, had speed in buckets, but his racecraft bucket was a little empty. Schumacher had both which meant he was nigh on unbeatable as his competitors f...
