Lewis made mistake after mistake today. Went off in turn 1, was lucky to be allowed to get back onto the lead lap, then a stupid tyre choice, then getting too far out of Massa's way too quickly while being lapped. There were some good overtakes, but a lot of questions remain unanswered. Perhaps he was not 100% (mentally, if not physically) after yesterday.
It's all very close. Kimi needs results quickly, and he probably needs McLaren to drop a lot of points, otherwise the team will have to support Massa. It's a shame, because he's been on brilliant form recently, and was harrying Alonso when the problem started.
I don't see Massa beating either McLaren driver in a straight fight, unless he has a big car advantage. He's lucky to get out of this weekend with a big gain on Lewis, and perhaps even luckier to gain those points on Kimi.
