I'm personally pleased to hear that and hope he meant it (Monte is also
a politician) - as both wife and I have become Massa fans in MS absence.

Did anyone catch the mini-bio on Massa mentioning how Massa matured 
during his 'test' timeoff?  Apparently, he used to be quite impatient & make
poor driving decisions, like Hamilton blowing a 'won' race by going off
track at the pit entrance last year.  Tough to mix Massa's native culture 
with his desire to win.  I note, however, the Brazillian greats (Fittipaldi, 
Senna) 
were from SaoPaulo, not Rio where one simply cannot get aggressive
due to the humidity.

Massa's time with Schumacher (who doesn't have a 'laid back' bone in his body)
probably also helped in this regard.   I regret not being a race junky during 
Ayrton Senna's reign. Just looked up spelling to learn da Silva was actually 
his last name.
