Strumming away my thoughts

actually, i din want to blog anything about yest F1 race, which was disappointing in terms of Ferrari performance. but reading this comment from this person on a website....can't help it lah.

Massa Has A Lot To Learn
It seems that Massa still has a lot to learn. From pole, Michael Schumacher would always cut across the nose of the second place car and give that driver a simple choice of backing down or hitting either Schumacher or the wall. Massa left the door to first place open so long that I'm surprised that Button didn't have a chance to pass him.
For me, the greatest problem that I had with Massa was the fact that he seemed to have given up on the race after he spun off trying to pass Hamilton. Come on, is the Ferrari really slower than the BMW Sauber over an entire race distance?
We know that Raikkonen had his race pace limited by concerns for his engine. Yet he never gave up and drove as hard as he could to come away with six valuable points.
Unlike Massa, Kimi seems to get it: score as many points as you can, as early as you can. In the meantime, I hope Michael will meet with Massa and teach him a thing or two about how to start a race properly.

it's almost exactly what me and my sis commented while we watched the race yesterday.

massa was disappointing. mistakes, like the poor start. very poor. how i wished it was michael schumacher who was on pole, the one driving yesterday. it wouldn't have been like that.
moreover, even if schumi had a bad start or made mistakes like massa, he will never have given up, not even let the spectators feel that he was giving up. schumi will fight on and that's schumi's spirit. the never say die spirit.

i miss schumi in F1 races. it was his leap on the podium in the first/previous race, now, i miss him on track! :'(

kimi wise, he fought, and got a 3rd. it was considered good in light of the danger of having engine failure if he pushes overly too hard.

everyone makes mistakes. but...argh! hopefully massa learns and performs better in the coming race this week at Bahrain as well as the future races. this also applies to ross brawn's successor too, luca sth. his strategies need to be better. i hope there will be no more disappointing days like that man.

performing good in practices is not enough. it is performance in qualifying and more importantly in the race that matters.

oh, btw, modesty mclaren! #&(*^$())(*%#^*#*&}:\?>()*^%@!#@$#!%$#&**#
