Massa still bought it hook, line and sinker though, trick or no trick.
Hamilton made it as hard for him as possible, for sure, and kudos for
that, but there's no way an F1 driver should make the same mistake twice
in two laps, the second time effectively binning his race.

Simply traffic at the pitstops - Ferrari didn't do well tactically: Ross
Brawn's sabbatical may be over sooner than he expects :-)

I think a difference in fuelling and tyre strategies helped accentuate that.

No, it's not astounding: that is exactly what a future World Champion would
have to do. At 22, he is not all that young, but he probably has exactly
the right balance of youth and experience. He needed to make a good start,
and make rapid progress. He looks right on target.

Just because Hamilton says that he tried to trick Massa doesn't mean that
Massa was actually tricked. But either way, it didn't make any difference
because he couldn't pull off the manoeuvre :-)

But Massa had to try the manoeuvre - he is the expendable one in the team.

One wonders if that was the wrong corner to try it at when he so almost
had Hamilton down the long straights - a clean pass where he had a clear
advantage would've got him the place. IMO he rushed his chance at the
first go and should've learnt the lesson that there was less grip there.

whine, whine, excuses, whine...is all im seeing...oh yeah, and failure
to admit your team lost fair and square

in your weakass mind maybe ...the thing is...as soon as hamilton
breaked hard the second time and turned the corner, and massa flew to
the grass, the initial thought was "he baited him", which turned out to
be true later, so it was hamilton that caused massa to think that there
was an oportunity to overtake, and there really wasnt...to me it looks
like superb move by hamilton, just like it was at start, and i can just
laugh at the sad explanations that ferrari boys LET him do
anything...better luck next race

ok lets try slowly...lewis goes faster than normal into the corner, and
has to break absolutely on the limit (lock a wheel or two) to make the
corner...massa, going faster is trying to catch up and pass, and turn
the corner...now if lewis went a little slower, massa might have been
able to pull out the pass...kudos to lewis to do this absolutely on the
limit and send massa to go grass-cutting ...now you might be a racing
master in your mind, so if you see it any different, please enlighten us

passed. Massa screwed up royally and that is what gave Hamilton the
position. Even after that, LH was slower than Massa, it's just that
again and again, Massa screwed up. Kimi could do bugger all so close
behind two cars fighting for a position and by the time he could have,
LH was up to speed and too hard to handle. The kid is really that
good.
It just shows that you need a bit of luck. Lewis is turning out to be
all that was predicted. The only thing that bothers me now is that
thing he said about "tricking Massa". We can argue all day about that,
but it looks to me as if LH is starting to play media mind games
already and i really don't like that bullshit..
