Could this be the turning point in the Fisi vs Massa battle?
Session 1 had Massa in front by close to a second, but they were probably doing different setup/information work.
Session 2 though is the closest I have seen Fisi to Massa all year. Massa - 1:33:031 Fisi - 1:33:061 Should be an interesting battle between the "other" Ferrari drivers. On a side note, I am not sure what my fascination is between these two. I am not really a Sauber fan, nor would I classify myself a fan of either driver. I must just find it interesting that Fisi is such a highly rated driver by many and yet his hands seem pretty full at the moment with Massa. OK, stop, refocus on the front end of the grid..... |

Massa was doing well certainly, but writing off fisi after two races was a little premature I thought. However a Friday morning practice session being a turning point
You are right, it is an interesting intra-team battle. |

Intresting that whilst "friday could be a turning point" Massa is still fractionally ahead.
Adam is right, Fisi shouldn't be written off.....yet, but he should be very disappointed with himself that he has allowed Massa to gain an advantage, this can only be doing Massa's stock to world of good! Last edited by Mr V; 2 Apr 2004 at 17:00. |

OK, I need a smiley with a tongue in cheek as my sarcasm is not always coming through as desired. Perhaps I should put a (scm) after I make a remark I meant to be sarcastic.
Damn internet. TJ |

I've got some straws in my cupboard. Any Fisi fans are welcome to come round and clutch at them.

Fisi will be blowing Felipe into the weeds by mid-season.

It's interesting to watch, wild and lurid Massa against 'underated' Fizzi....both theoretically auditioning for Ferrari's favours.

Another point, well made. It's early days yet but I've noticed that we (including myself) have drawn some interesting conclusions about drivers from the first two races.
Haven't noticed this phenomenon (phew) before. |

I only do not know whether i should be disappointed with Fisi's lack of pace, or should be impressed with Massa doing better.
Is Fisi a bad driver? I don't think so... Is Massa a great driver? I don't think so... :Eek: |

I think Massa must be doing better this season. After a year testing for Ferrari, you'd damn well want to hope so.

Massa intrigues me - anyone who's heard Martin Brundle talk about him will have heard how his style is so utterly unconventional - he does seem to chuck the car about rather alot, and he doesn't half turn in early...
... so how the is he so quick?! |

Massa's been very impressive so far, no doubt about it. Even with the occasional off-track excursion he is still consistantly outpacing Fisichella, which should not be happening considering how highly Giancarlo is rated by fans and his fellow drivers, and that he has destroyed every team-mate he's faced (including several who have established themselves as frontrunners elsewhere).
