Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa faceoff
If you had seen the race, you would have seen at around lap 55, Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso had bumped. In formula one racing bumping can be deadly at times. Fernando Alonso had accused Felipe Massa of bumping him deliberately (I think he told him that on the podium, don’t know what he said exactly), apparently Massa took offence to what Fernando Alonso said to him and a war of words followed ::
Felipe Massa ::
“I was really surprised when he came to say I did that on purpose – I would never do something like that on purpose,” insisted Massa.
“Like I said in Barcelona, that was normal, here was normal. It’s going to be like that.”
“So if he was a little bit unhappy, it’s not my problem. I just do my race and I follow the rules of the sport. That’s all.
“If somebody tells me something I did wrong, and I didn’t, I will be unhappy. That is normal.
“But if he has apologised, then that’s fine. He knows he was not right after the race.”

Massa: “Go **** yourself! You’ve won and you say something like this, ******, you win and say something like this.”
Alonso: “I fought with Heidfeld, i fought with everyone, but you can’t do that.”
Massa: (Touching Alonso) “Try to learn something”
Alonso: “You try to learn something”
Massa: “Try to learn something!”
Alonso: “Try to learn something, i fought with all the world today, and with 3 laps to go, we touch!”
Massa: (sitting on his chair) “Good job!”
Alonso: “Good job!”

It was one of the funniest face off we have had in a long time. When alonso got out of his car, he beckoned the camera with his finger and pointed to the bark of massa tyres on his car, and jubilantly exulted …. And then in the green room before entering the podium…

Of course Felipe Massa didn’t do it intentionally, anybody who watched the race could see it.
Even though I like very much Massa’s style of driving, Alonso is better and he has proved it.
This year, the decision will be between Alonso and Hamilton.
Massa and Kimi will fight for the third place.
That’s all.
