Give Massa a car that is not designed for Alonso's ridiculous drying style (understeering like a moron), and Massa will give him a run for his money.
It'll be interesting to see whether Maasa's struggles were entirely down to this seasons tyre characteristics, that even Ross Brawn has stated were somewhat unusual in their performance or whether he's still suffering from the physio/physiological side-effects of his accident last season, in the Richard Hammond Meets Stirling Moss programme earlier this year, they mentioned that Prof Sid Watkins thought that Moss should've waited 2 years after his crash before attempting a comeback, with the severity of the head injury that Massa suffered, maybe he returned too soon.
and if not for some seriously bad luck, Vettel would have outscored Webber by a mile.
Indeed, that's why I remain of the opinion that Vettel was the more deserving of the two, Webber was far too incident prone
(and whinged far too much) despite receiving the more reliable equipment of the two.
I think Hamilton has a chance
Almost always, I think he's probably the absolute-fastest out there right now, if he can just cut out the clumsy errors, though to be fair all of the main WDC contenders had their fair share of howlers this season.
but they still managed to almost lose it.
AKA
"Doing a Button" given how hard he made it for himself in 2009.
If not for the injury he could have easily been world champion.
Would've, could've, should've, if not for the countless mistakes he could also easily have been world champion, for what it's worth Webber himself has said that the shoulder injury was not an issue, hence why he didn't feel the need to tell his team.
I suppose one could question why he's felt the need to say anything at all then? Though I suppose if he'd said anything at the time, it would've been construed as being an excuse when he simply wasn't getting the job done whilst his teammate was.
