Did I hear it right yesterday when one of the commentators said that SV is being groomed to be in a Ferrari next year? Remember that he is a German, MS personally recommended him to his current team and he(MS) can still pull strings from his old team.

With the way FM is performing this season, he'd better watch out. He can't let his heart rule over his head. Else, he'll be out of this team sooner than he expected.

He will be a nobody outside of Ferrari (look or don't look at RB.....) ....

Yung manager ni FM is the son of the former team principal Jean Todt. Since wala na si Todt, sitting duck na si FM. Sabi FM na kasalanan daw ng kotse kaya nag spin, yeah right...

Felipe Massa on Sunday did not take the blame for his retirement from the Malaysian Grand Prix.

The pole-sitter, who had fallen behind his team-mate and eventual Grand Prix winner Kimi Raikkonen through the first round of pit stops at Sepang, mysteriously spun into the gravel around mid-distance.

"I don't know what happened, I just lost the car completely," he was quoted as explaining to the British broadcaster ITV.

"There was strange behaviour on the rear, so I don't know," the Brazilian added.

Massa's second retirement of the season means that while 11 drivers have scored points in the opening two races, the 26-year-old is now 14 points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton.

Yup, its the car's fault. It no longer has traction control.
But seriuosly werent people heaping praise on him last year? He's probably just in a rut. Remember both KM and FM DNF'ed in Australia. And its just the second race. Lets see his performance in Bahrain.

Correct ka dyan bro. JT was a staunch supporter of FM because of those relations. Just speculating here,- FA could have been with Ferrari this year were it not for his earlier encounter with JT. Hhmmmm, could this be a "reason" why Ferrari retired their CEO?.....

Kaya nga FM has to watch out..... A couple of race incidences (spin and with DC) in Australia, and his spin in Malaysia,- from what looks like point-scoring positions will not sink well with his Italian team....
