Will Ferrari lineup behind Massa?
Thursday, September 4th, 2008
They could, because at this point of the season, Massa is showing Ferrari why his team should do just that.
Much to everybody’s surprise, Felipe Massa has overtaken his more popular Ferrari teammate, Kimi Raikkonen, in the race for the drivers championship this 2008 F1 season with only six more races to go.
After playing second fiddle to Michael Schumacher and then Kimi, Felipe Massa has come to his own this year with 64 championship points to Kimi’s 57. And although Lewis Hamilton is still in first place, leading the two Ferrari drivers with 70, Massa definitely has a better shot of winning this year’s title than Kimi, despite the fact that Kimi still is THE defending champ.
That’s probably why the Ferrari team should start lining up behind Massa now or they could see their run for the drivers title end up with nothing.
We all saw that last season when McLaren - Mercedes let Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso settle for themselves who’s going to take home the title. It backfired when Kimi came out of nowhere to steal the drivers championship away from the two competing McLaren stars.
It’s ironic that Kimi Raikkonen finds himself in the same position and it’ll be up to him if he wants to cooperate with Massa or just go all out and try to compete with his teammate for the title.
Ferrari legend Niki Lauda believes that the 2008 championship is set to be a down-to-the-wire battle between Ferrari and McLaren. Although Massa only has a slight edge in total points over teammate Raikkonen, the Austrian, who won the drivers’ championship with the Scuderia in 1975 and 1977, has more trust in Massa than Raikkonen going to the 13th race of…

Friday, April 11th, 2008
What was initially believed as an April Fool’s prank turned out to be true.
Max Mosley, president of the FIA, the governing body that controls F1 racing, was caught in a sex scandal recently. FIA president Max Mosley has been caught on film taking part in a Nazi fetish orgy.
During the five-hour orgy video, Mosley both dominated and submitted to the five hookers, who dressed both as Nazis and concentration camp prisoners.
The 67-year-old, who has been married for 48 years, was at one point whipped so hard that the orgy had to be halted while a bandage was applied to stop his bleeding.
As President of FIA, Mosley is responsible for overseeing international motor sports, including Formula One. He enjoys a close relationship with F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Mosley’s father Oswald was a notorious fascist and Hitler supporter. Max has been controversially linked to his father’s beliefs.
As expected, people are already clamoring for his…
