In his role with the FIA as the president of the international karting commision, you couldn't make it up

"Dantas then pinned Rocha to the ground while repeatedly punching his helmet."

So, let me get this straight. Of all the places to punch him, he picked the hard plastic 'box' designed to protect the driver's head from impacts... Not exactly the sharpest tool in the box.

I don't really understand why Massa keeps getting name dropped in this, what could he have done to stop it? (Other than not being there of course)

I think the title has it right: he's gone up in my estimation. Even though he wasn't involved, & couldn't have stopped or predicted it, he apologised & even offered that they should have been banned earlier in the race due to their behaviour then. Far better than defending the indefensible, as can happen.

Touched a nerve have I, get over it!

It was Massas team, it was one of his drivers, you'd think his team would be on it's best behavior for the new president wouldn't you?

And actually the link was from autosport just to correct you

Yes I am in fact Felipe Massa rolleyes

No need to correct me, I was suggesting that your post was akin to Daily a Express clickbait, I thought that’d be obvious. Really don’t get why Massa should be drawing the fire for the behaviour of his apparently adult team mate.
