Another test for Massa:
Medical exam for Massa with GP2 car
I'm soooo curious to know the lap times will drive next week in the Ferrari F2007, but also curious to know what the reaction of his head will be on the G-forces, etc...

I heard something interesting on the radio today, it was someone comparing felipe to susan boyle.
it was a weird comment but in many ways made sense, he said now people are wondering how many months will it take for ferrari to say ok alonso is 1 and felipe is 2, some say by mid season it will happen, cause everyone expects alonso to launch as a rocket.
but then you look at it like it's a show, and there's a diva, the main singer, and then they hire the backup singers, and what happens when the backup singer is like susan boyle, out of nowhere bust out with a earth shattering voice, that can rival the diva. it would seem like felipe is ferrari's second driver, has always been, but they forgot to tell him that!
And so he somehow manages to eventually catch up with the driver who's supposed to be the number 1.
Let's not pretend that when kimi raikkonen arrived we didnt fully expected him to be number 1, and felipe to be exactly as he was during 06, be a decent second driver, and kimi was better than felipe, and managed to win the championship, and then in 2008 at some point felipe's job was actually hanging on the line, and somehow before the season was over, he managed to be faster than his teammate, to be the best driver on the grid for the season, and lost the championship in the last corner.
So even thou he doesn't have a championship which kimi has, but to me he outperformed kimi, who came to ferrari to be the star.
I think alonso is better than felipe, he certainly has a better record, but something tells me that we still haven't seen everything felipe can do, or become, and i wonder if ferrari thinks the same way. i wonder if they are looking at alonso and massa as a pair of champions rather than one champion and one very good second driver.
Looking back at it, makes you wonder why and how felipe really made it to where he is now, certainly his first season wasn't like an alonso, or a lewis, he didn't come into the scene already with all this potential. Then even after getting fired, he got a test with ferrari, and i wonder that maybe michael and jean saw something special there, something that needed alot of work in, and time, but that would ultimately show something unique.
For some reason i wonder if eventually felipe won't be able to catch up to fernando, it seems felipe watches very carefuly the work around him, and he learns from all of that, and he upgrades himself accordingly. not only does he save his job, but leaps forward.
it will be a very interesting season, cause i agree, i don't think felipe knows alonso is better lol. and i think it will be very good for ferrari, to have 2 drivers who will be giving 100% efforts to winning, during the whole season, that's something to see... really can't wait.

Smedley is such a nice bloke. He personally wrote an e-mail to the admin of a Ferrari forum, to thank them for their support of Felipe.
Glad to see Felipe back and the F2007 with slicks looks so right, opposed to the 2009 spec cars also known as "bathtubs"
