No time to comment now but wow!

This is desperate but, maybe this will fire Massa up and bring him back to form?

[Some Gump]

Self srving bks by the prosecutor IMO. how could he prove it? Massa is skilled enough to "semi bin it" and get fred past if needed. In addition, team orders are an accepted reality, it'd never stick in court.

Seems in-form with the Brazilian expectation attitude to me.

If need be, he could just put it into the wall.

I can't imagine they'd do that. If Massa let Alfonso past then his engine let go the Red Bulls would take a lot of out his lead. At this point Alfonso doesn't so much need to score points for himself but to make sure the Red Bulls don't get any. I reckon he'd be pretty happy if Massa led home a Ferrari 1-2.

Yep. I suspect they'd murder his wife and family if he gave up a win in his home town. [Understatement of the week] They are rather fond of their motorsport in Brazil...[/Understatement of the week]

Bloody good law if you ask me. It should be internationally implemented.

As the old saying goes...

never going to happen.. Brasilian's are overdramatic at the best of times, but the race is under threat for the long term.. this would do it no favours, also there would be little chance of ever proving it to a great enough degree.. much of nothing

Haha. How funny would it be if massa leads alonso home and alonso goes on to lose the wdc by 1 point in abu dhabi.

Massa:
"For sure there are some people who understand it," he said. "They have the knowledge about this complicated sport when the team is in first position.
"But there are some people who will never understand. The crowd have opposing views but I insist our work is not to understand the opinion of the crowd but to do the best on the track."

Translation: "The public are a bunch of mongs"
