Ha. Luca Badoer?. Geez, haven't we learned any lesson from Schumi's return?. I dont think so, UK, whoever you are. Ask him to book himself a room in old home, pronto.

Massa, I am happy for him. He is showing his true potential, now, AFTER his accident. I never saw him as before after accident. Dont know what happened to him.

Look at this. Just 2 good races and BAM!, Ferrari is on 2nd in constructor!. Who did ever though of that?!.

@NakedTruth
Are you sure it is only last 2 races that have earned Massa the Ferrari seat for 2013. Because I think its his performance since the season resume after summer break from Spa till South Korea, he has scored 2nd most points behind Vettel, although one could easily understand that Alonso has 2 retirements but if team needs to ask a driver to slow down it means he is fast in the race. I am sure, Massa will perform the same way till the season end, the only question is would he perform the same way next season.

As for @UK's wish reference from my side and your reply to it, shows you have not learn the word sarcasm in this age of internet. I have clearly used a winking smiley which means the comment was sarcastic.
