If Massa is in front of Kimi in Brazil, should he let Kimi pass? l mean, if there is a case that tMassa doesnt need those 1-2 points for his championship. Should he thank Kimi for his help in the last race and pay back?

l thought it was more a case should Kimi let Massa pass again if the situation arises?

No he won't. Anything can happen until Hamilton crosses the finish line and gets that championship for certain. And l do not think Ferrari will risk making the switch on the last lap. They might get a penalty, and loose constructors.

And besides, its Massa is home GP, he will want to win it.

A very interesting question.

l had have to say no. What if Massa lets Kimi through and then Hamilton has a problem on the last lap that would have given Massa the title? Ferrari would look mighty foolish, that is for sure!

l am sure Massa can pay him back with a big bottle of vodka at the end of the year anyway. :)

No, you race to win! If anything Kimi owes him for last year when he let Kimi pass to win the race and the championship. Plus he deserves to win at home after giving up that easy win in 2007.

Come on guys.
In Brazil?
First of all that is what he did last year, he let Kimi past & Kimi became world champion.
So he does not owe him everything.
And second, even if Lewis retires & Massa wraps it up, the crowds will want to see their boy win the race & win the world championship in style as well.
That is great for the race organizers & great for F1 as well.
Kimi moved aside so Massa could get a couple more points, chances r Massa will have to give the lead & the win to Kimi & l do not see why he should.

Kimi will let Massa through if required, but it will be a painful reminder of the hurdle he is made for himself next year.

If the title is lost - & it wo not be lost until Lewis crosses the line - then Kimi can stay in front, but l would think he would try to hassle Lewis & then in the last few laps let Massa catch but & pass if Lewis drops back to 6th for some reason.

If Massa cannot win Kimi will try & stay l front to show Ferrari his edge.

Generally no, Massa should not let Kimi pass, apart from under certain circumstances.

If for example Hamilton is leading, Massa second & Kimi third, then perhaps it would make sense to let Kimi through so he can attack Hamilton.

If Massa is struggling to keep up for example, Kimi might have the pace to force Hamilton into a mistake, also Massa will lose the title if he has an accident with Hamilton, so better if there is an accident that Kimi has it with him.

If he lets Kimi pass, we will see another wave of condemnation on Ferrari is team rules. So l would not if l was Massa. Besides, what better way to do win a WDC than with a victory?

Lastly, there are so many ways to thank Kimi, e.g. offer to clean his gorrila suit.

l see your point but its unlikely.
We know how on a knife edge this championship has been - what with questionable stewards decisions left right and centre- its best to get into the most advantageous position possible and stay there. Massa would be slightly deranged to be thinking about favours now!

Cannot wait! :D

Yes, especially if kimi is faster than what he is and he has no chance of winning the championship otherwise he can not take any risks.

Interesting question, but the answer is probably no. l think if Massa can not win the WDC at least he will want to win at his home course. Maybe Kimi will gift Massa again this week.

No.

Kimi will not ask that of him. He is too far away in the championship now. So why would he need to win?

Massa needs to win to win the championship, so why would he do something as dumb as that and ruin it for himself.

After all its his home GP. l would do everything l could to win my home GP.

Raikkonen and Massa will have worked all this out. As they did in China. Ferrari cannot give them orders.

He wont but if kimi takes pole he will surely let massa past. if massa is ahead of kimi then massa wont let him past.

Im sure u would have found that obvious since massa is the main title contender for ferrari.

LEWIS HAMILTON 2008 WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, he helped out Kimi last year and who knows, he may have to do the same next year.

this is a non-starter, if massa is ahead he will stay ahead, im not against hamilton by any means and will be disappointed if he doesnt take the the title this weekend but when was the last time he retired with mechanical trouble? law of averages etc etc...??????
