Massa descontento con que Fernando entrase antes

[Asturleones]

Bueno, os dejo esto por si alguien sigue pensando que Massa fue más rápido que Fernando en Australia:


Would Massa have finished on the podium had Ferrari pitted him earlier?

The inescapable impression that Felipe Massa is now firmly ensconced in the role of Alonso's dutiful number two appeared to be rammed home during the second round of pitstops at Albert Park.

After the Brazilian had pipped his team-mate in qualifying and held track position over the sister car through the first stint, the Ferrari pitwall had stuck with established F1 convention at the first stops and serviced their lead runner first (lap eight for Massa compared with lap nine for Alonso).

However, after Massa, closely followed by his Spanish stable-mate, had then run in the dirty air of Sutil and Vettel all through the second stint, that pitstop order was suddenly reversed at the second stops with Alonso in first on lap 20 while Massa was kept out all the way to lap 23.

Although Ferrari actually serviced Massa's car in a fractionally quicker time (2.6s to 2.8s), in the five laps encompassing Alonso's Lap 20 in-lap and Massa's lap 24 out-lap there was a four-and-a-half second swing in the Spaniard's favour. Furthermore, not only did the earlier stop mean Alonso jumped ahead of his team-mate, he also leapfrogged both Vettel and the long-running Adrian Sutil, setting him up for a shot at victory.

Massa, meanwhile, followed the Force India all the way to his own final stop on lap 36 by which time Sutil had dropped to over a second off Alonso's pace, increasing his deficit to his team-mate to around eight seconds.

That the 11-time race winner ultimately finished 21 seconds behind Alonso at the chequered flag would perhaps vindicate Ferrari's earlier tactics, with Massa lapping in the mid-1:32s to low-1:33s during the closing ten laps for instance while Alonso, still chasing Raikkonen at this time, was clocking three successive laps in the 1:29s alone. But track position is often everything in F1 and you can understand why Massa appeared aggrieved with his lot after missing out on a maiden Melbourne podium.
