I've got a lot os sympathy for the guy, but regardless of the reason, if he can't perform, he has to go. Even before the spring he was not that great, he just had a lucky season.

Fixed to accurately portray non-race time.The race was chaos and madness,
followed by crazy radio comms, then Alonso and Peter Sauber crying. Really, it is hard to give a summary without writing 23 paragraphs.
Whitmarsh is the reason I don't hate McLaren anymore. Well, and Button driving for them, but just not havging to listen to Ron's rubbish and getting Whitmarsh's brilliant trolling has done wonders for their image.
I think Massa is done now it's a given. It's a real shame though because I still think he's talented personally. However the way things have steam-rolled, the unfortunate series of events and scrutiny he's had to endure personally and within the sphere of the team I don't think he was ever going to recover in a fast moving atmosphere like f1. His self belief and psyche overall are probably well and truly shattered so leaving the team probably works out best for both.
Mercedes have such catastrophic races, I don't know if it's just bad luck or shitty race pace, but MY GOD, for a team that's been touted as being the 3rd fastest, they barely scored 1point.
They must be crying... like me for Schumi =(
Poor Massa
MTV3 reporters are just now saying Kimi was the one who send the media people of Lotus to give ice creams to every reporter.

I must say, I really enjoyed myself in that race, de la Rosa commented. It really was the best race to make my debut with HRT. I dont think anyone could imagine we would finish after starting from the pit lane due to an issue with the fuel pressure that we were dragging over from yesterday. I was penalised with a drive-through penalty, we completed our first real pit-stop to sum up, a lot of things happened but, in the end, the car held out really well given where we were at the beginning.
We have to improve many things but this was a perfect test. My team-mate also finished, so thats doubly satisfying. Im very happy for the team, we accomplished our objective. Now we have to go a little bit further.
What happened to him though? I just started watching F1 this season after a long few years hiatus so I had to go digging into past years standings and it seems when he joined Ferrari in 2006 he finished 3rd overall, 2007 finished 4th, 2008 he was 2nd and only 1 point behind Hamilton. Those first 3 years he showed incredible promise. Then in 2009 he got off to a terrible start and then picked it up in the few races before the Hungary accident. After seeing the accident I'm surprised he managed to come back the next season and still finish 6th which is also where he placed last year. Since 2009 he strikes me as someone who is good but not quite great which is what Ferrari is used to seeing in their drivers and why he seems to be getting so much criticism right now. 6th doesn't seem all that bad to me but when it's for Ferrari I guess it is. I do feel bad for the guy and maybe driving for team with a lesser spotlight will be good for him.
Yeah, HRT needs to just give someone else a chance i'm bored of their unreliability and lack of improvement. I think it was Monza last year where they were the only team to not bring any upgrades or changes to the car at all to a track where it was definitely needed.DLR is talking as if this was HRT's first season.

Karthikeyan said he spoke to both men to say sorry after the race and, although aware of how costly the tangles could be, he believes backmarkers are sometimes not given enough respect.
"Some of these guys when they lap you, they take the Mickey out of you," he said. "They come and try to push you out of the way to get back on the racing line.
I feel bad yet at the same time pity for Narain he really sounds like he wouldn't have fought for the position even if his car was fast enough to maintain.
He makes it sound like his car is worth something. The others try to push him out of the way because the car doesn't deserve to be there. He should stop whining and be happy Tata is paying for his drive. At least De La Rosa realises his situation.
Watching the race again on the BBC and Perez staying out that one extra lap is so painful to watch.
thats a pretty nice shop.
the wait for china will be hard, 3 freaking weeks =(
Ferrari really should have got rid of Massa before the championship started, he simply isn't good enough.
Can someone explain how it was karthikeyans fault please, it looked to me like vettel chopped across.
