      It's a shame because I used to have a soft spot for Massa for taking Brazil 2008, his head injury, and being forced to being number 2 to Alonso, on the chin with grace. There's great admirability in maintaining a good attitude in rough times even if you're not the best and don't achieve much, much like Martin Brundle, Johnny Herbert, Rubens Barrichello etc.
      Now he's currently destroying the one thing we can look back on his career fondly about, cause lets face it he was never an Alonso, a Raikkonen, a Hamilton, not even a Button. but if being given a title in court nearly 2 decades on makes him happy, then what can I say?
