strange behaviour on the rear

I hope the rumors are true and Ferrari do put Vettel in the car

Meh, it's Massa. He's well known to push too hard... kinda of a win or crash trying sort of driver. I'm sure he was just pushing to catch Kimi so he could pass him during the next round of pit stops, and lost the rear end due to being used to traction control, but I don't think he thought he was as close to the limit as he ended up being.

So, I'd call that "strange behaviour" if I was really used to TC too, to suddenly spin when you're at 9/10ths. It was unexpected and it caught him out. I don't see him really shirking the responsibility of the spin... I think he was probably genuinely surprised it happened.
