Encourage the team.

Help analyze what went wrong.

Help discuss strategy for the rest of the race for Massa.

Provide valuable feedback on the track conditions.

Provide tire feedback.

Work with the engineers to discuss the situation.

BUY THE MECHANICS DINNER!!

Show his SUPPORT.

ACT LIKE HE'S A MEMBER OF THE TEAM!

-Bob

Encourage the team.
Like ask why his car failed ?

"Lots of smoke and rattles.. Car stopped"

Why would Massa listen ? He's a big boy and better than Kimi anyway.
Isn't he ?
Quote:

I suspect massa already knows what the track's like.
Quote:

They're black and kinda round and don't have enough grip.
(Tyres never have enough grip!)

"The car's banjaxed; again. What are you going to do about it for the
next race?"

"If the car holds together next race I'll buy dinner.."

That sort of thing can get you arrested.. Anyway, how do you know he
wears one ?

Aah, now that's a little more tricky.. One assumes Ferrarir knew what
they were buying..

No. Like Schumacher used to do.

Contribute. Constantly. Non Stop Contribution. Non Stop Leadership.


DRIVE the team. Inspire the team. Support the team.


I would think that would come with the job of *lead* Ferrari driver, to
say nothing of salary.

He's the older, more experienced, higher paid driver.


I'd expect him to stick around at least till the end of the race.

Bob, the fact that Schumacher had that particular modus operandi doesn't
mean that any other driver, before or since, is *obliged* to work the
same way.

Can you think of one other driver in Ferrari's history who was known for
all the things you cited? Lauda, at a stretch...maybe. No, not even.

Well his team didn't, did they?
