While everybody is concerned about Hamilton Do you think Massa can mess it up?

The guy made mistakes before and this is his first time competing for the title, so he is less experienced than Lewis when it comes to title deciders. So Will Massa win the race and wait for Hamilton to screw up or he will ensure the safety of Hamilton is nervous system?
BTW nothing against Massa as l am rooting for him, it is just that all the spotlight is on Hamilton.

Last year he lost the title against the other Ferrari driver in the last race with the same advantage before the race. That is why l think there is so much attention on him.

Just my opinion.

Massa is problems this year have been more of the team is problems e.g. engine failures and pit stop blunders. He has not committed as many high profile blunders as Hamilton e.g. Canada and Spa.

That and the fact that Hamilton is young, British and been in this position before, so the spotlight is more on him than Massa

Good question. l think he can, but he is less prone to do it than Lewis.
l don´t think Massa is under a lot of pressure. He has everything to win & not so much to lose. l do not like Massa, but he also deserves the Championship. Despite being helped by the FIA & Kimi, he also lost races when he was the winner on the track.

l like Lewis, but I´m not sure if he can cope with all the media attention, the huge national expectations & his own personal pressure. He is not smart after making the first mistake, so he has to focus on staying cool, it´s a long race not to be decided on the first corner.

Lets remember that pressure is not only on the drivers. If I´m the lolipop guy in Ferrari (or McLaren) or the fueling guy l wouldn´t be so calm, or the engine mechanics in either team. They can also screw it up !

Good point Mr Ore and something that i've thought for a while now. The pressure is on Massa more l believe as Lewis only has to drive a semi conservative race with no mechanical problems.

Both did welll in practice though!

Massa only knows how to do one thing, quali on pole & drive away.
It is also a sign of his speed on any given weekend, if he is fastest, he will plant it on pole no doubt.
He knows that game so well l doubt he will have nerves, he does not have as much to lose, yes he has the championship to lose & so does Lewis, but realistically he can afford not to win it & Lewis can not.
If Massa finds himself in a situation he has to keep his cool amidst people he has to pass, he will probably lose it but he is been doing it all year anyway, that wo not be due to the pressures of this race, it is just him.

Either driver has had multiple opportunities to take a bigger championship lead but have messed it up many times, neither driver is a complete team leader and suffer the pressure too easily. Hammy has already messed up the 2nd free practise session today so l would not be surprised if at least 1 of the drivers mess up during the race.

Massa is sometimes pretty miraculous under pressure. It could go either way with him. All l want is meal of a race to end the season on.

Yes, i've been saying it all along, Massa has a higher chance of messing up his own race than Hamilton does. The Brit has been in this situation before, whereas Massa is under pressure to perform in front of his home crowd. He usually does good in Brazil but we've seen how he does under pressure.
