Oh, and this story is awesome (and sad)

Quote:
Felipe Massa afforded Nelson Piquet Jr a cursory handshake when the pair met at a Brazilian kart circuit this week, but repeated the claim that his countryman's 'accident' in last year's Singapore Grand Prix cost him the F1 world title.

Although Piquet attempted to greet the recovering Massa when they bumped into each other at the Kartodromo Granja Viana, the Ferrari pilot reportedly resisted the offered embrace and opted for a polite handshake instead. Piquet, clearly embarrassed by the awkwardness of the situation, left briskly and their paths did not cross again for the remainder of the day.
I feel really really really bad for Massa now. Especially since the results of the race are going to stand. I can certainly understand his frustration at Piquet, Renault and even Alonso... I really hope Ferrari gives him a good car next year to win the championship (and hopefully he put Alonso into a wall once or twice for good measure).
