When someone mentions Silverstone and Massa spinning as evidence of his supposed inability to drive in the wet I lose all respect for them as a fair-minded critic.
If you watch the replay of that race (have you?) you will find that Massa was not the only driver doing this. Also, it is clear that he had no grip on those tyres that day and that this was nothing to do with his wet race skills - which is born out by evidence of his other wet races as has been mentioned. Ironically - if he'd parked it instead of relentlessly trying at the risk of his own reputation - then maybe people like you wouldn't unjustly drag it out every so often to bash him other the head with it!
If you are such a keen Ferrari supporter I would have expected you to know that because it's usually the kind of thing a driver fan or McLaren fan would say - seeing as it an unfair representation, where the driver is not given the benefit of the doubt based on the available evidence.
Reminds me a little of Monaco this year when we had people ranting about Massa's crash whilst oblivious to the video evidence which showed that Lewis had pushed him onto the marbles in the tunnel and that there wasn't much he could realistically do to stop it as a result.
Massa outqualifying Fernando on occasion this year is obviously another example of his slowness and lack of commitment i guess. Quite difficult when the team sends you out to use your drag to try to "sling shot" their No. 1 driver up the grid during qualifying!
I know its easy to get emotional about the results of our team

(although why you are aiming this at Massa at this point in time is a mystery to me) but it's always better to look at the balance of the issue really before calling for heads without reason.
We ALL know that Fred is the better driver but you won't find many people who are prepared to detail another driver who can better Massa as his team mate at the moment with solid reasoning behind it (the fact that you suggested Lewis is somewhat disturbing too).
Anyhoo, we all know what it's like to get emotional about Ferrari (except Kimi Raikkonen of course - but he had an excuse

)
