What about his teammate, Massa? He showed a lot of signs of improvement since the start of the season, but at the last two rounds in Britain and Germany he has been poor. Is this just a blip or could it be the start of a downturn in form for the Brazilian?

Massa is definitely faster this season, and he has become a more mature and all-rounded driver. He even comfortably beat Kimi in the wet conditions in Monaco which I feel is significant. He fought through the field in Montreal, but the last two GPs have showed the old Massa hasn't left us completely.

What do you think has been the difference to Massa this season compared to previous years? After all, he won three races last season yet never looked like challenging for the title. So far, he has won three races this season and is in with a good chance.

I think he has done better at tracks he hasn't gone as well on in the past. Monaco is the best example. He has never had a decent race there until this season, battling back from a low position. In Canada, his great pass on Rubens and Heikki showed his race craft is getting better; however, his defence of positions is still appalling and that needs to change.

 

 

 

Paul  

 

Can you see him keeping up a title charge for the rest of the season? Apart from Brazil, he never finished last season strongly, and the way it's looking at the minute, he is Ferrari's best hope of winning the driver's title.
