It may be "negative" but, only so far as he's had a run of bad luck...
Having said that, even negatives can have a positive effect!!

So what was this negative record that you feel needs mentioned in a well done Felipe thread?

I'm guessing it's not Kimi's negative record against Felipe while they were team mates.

Greig... you quoted it, when you responded earlier! I guess you didn't read the entire comment?

And, then I thought: Wow! Twice in one year? That's amazing, even if the "other" record would be one for the longest drought between podiums!

What a weird and wonderful world F1 is, eh?

BUT... I stand corrected, as I obviously remembered incorrectly:

Felipe Massa to hold record for longest Ferrari F1 victory drought
http://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-news/fe...ctory-drought/

And, for the record, it says a lot about Massa's resolve to improve that he has qualified ahead of Alonso so often!!

Thank you for remembering that Kimi holds a special place in my heart; but, my world does not revolve around him!

Sorry yeah I did just skim over it, maybe he should have ignored team orders at Germany 10 to stop him having this record?

But thanks for bringing this record to the thread it's really fitting with the topic

**Suzie** · 1st April 2013, 20:59

If you're going to put down Felipe, sagi, please could you just do it properly rather than in this tiresome, passive-aggressive manner?

Thanking you in advance.

**Jas** · 1st April 2013, 21:27

How can a post about massa great quali performance reently turn into negative comments.....some people are pathetic and just look for confrentation! It's really getting on my nerves...80% of the threads this year are just clogged with bickering and people not knowing when to stop!! swear it wasnt like this last year!!! JUST TAKE THE HIGHER GROUND AND STOP!!!!!!!

I guess you haven't noticed my signature, either?

Without understanding and learning from "failure" you can't appreciate or savour "success"!

This is NOT about negativity, so much as it is about progress! And, THAT makes it a positive comment!

I'd appreciate not being psycho-analyzed and not having my every comment dissected for hidden anti-Massa innuendo!
I said what I meant and I meant what I said.

And, to quote the wise: Thanking you in advance!!

Sagi... excuse me for interrupting, I love a good debate, but this thread is clearly not intended for that purpose, it's called "Congratulations Felipe" for a reason, although you have some valid points i'd suggest this isn't the thread to be making them...
Felipe and Rob are both very much loved here, and with good reason, please don't take this the wrong way but I'm unsure if you are aware of the history of the forum and Felipe, it's something we as a community are quietly proud of, or at least I am, and I think i'm not alone in that, there is an article or two here that you may or may not have read...

No it won't. I'm not dipping into my allotment of peanuts.

**wisepie** · 2nd April 2013, 12:57

Dear me, Sagi, I for one accept that you are as passionate as the rest of us but you do sometimes analyse things too intelligently for us to keep up! I appreciate your in-depth thoughts on most matters, though, but this thread rightly applauds Felipe for his return to form, so let's leave it that way. Keep up the good work otherwise!

Amusing the BBC didn't give any coverage to Alonso's 200th race, but do seem to be building up to this as if it's important.

Surely a "historic" record would be the type of thing found in a record book. Interesting stat, but doesn't warrant an entire article!

I'm sure Alonso has set a "historic record" of outqualifying Massa the most times in a row of any team-mate, but I didn't see an article about it.

**Suzie** · 2nd April 2013, 18:24

It's by Andrew Benson - better just to ignore him.

Classic "Anti-Alonso" Benson.

It is about maximising the number of points achieved at the end of the race on Sunday, not about out qualifying your team mate.
To even remotely suggest that Alonso is worried by this, is a joke.
Apart from that, every year we start at zero, so Massa has outqualified Alonso twice last year, and twice this year, untill now.
