In 2007 Raikkonen won the title with just 1 point difference over Hamilton. And this year Hamilton won by 1 point over Massa. Do you think Massa will win the title in the next season. No doubt he is a better driver. He won more races this season than Hamilton. I personally think he will....

I think that Massa has the potential to win the 2009 championship, and I really hope he does. =P He just needs to change his driving style a little and be more agressive. He stays on the place he gets in the qualifications, while Hamilton, for example, always attacks even if he gets a low qualifying position. He shouldn't be afraid to attack others a bit and pose a threat to those in front of him, even if he isn't in the top. The reason why Massa didn't win this year, in my opinion, is that, and the Ferrari problems. It was really horrible when in Hungary, I think, his engine stopped 3 laps before the race when he was first. I felt bad then, and I can't imagine what it must be like for him. =/ Another thing that happened that slowed him down was that during the night race in Singapore with the tube or pipe, or whatever its called. It wasn't his fault that all these things happened, and I understand that the technology is prone human error, but Ferrari simply cannot afford all of these mistakes if they want to have a world champion.

I think massa was the better driver this season. No doubt hamilton too was. Massa's put lane errors and engine failures would have cost him the title this year for sure.

No doubts about it that Massa is gonna take back what is his...that is the CHAMPIONSHIP title.First is was KIMI,then LEWI but no there is no way that MASSA is not gonna have it...not becoz that the others got it till no and he didnt but becoz now he's understood it and he had his share of defeat.Ferrari are gonna put in more behind both the drivers then before.Earlier they thought of MASSA as a second driver but then its no longer that way...what doesnt happen any where happens at Ferrari...A team with 2 First drivers.

Yes...i am sure massa will be even more competitive next season. He nearly got a taste of a champion for few seconds. He will be more hungry to win the title in the next season.

I am a great fan of Raikkonen and was really disappointed this year.. but i have strong beliefs in him and i think he will win the title in 2009.

i think raikkonen was really unlucky this season. he could have challenged hamilton and massa for the champioship if he was a bit lucky. i think raikonnen will improve next season but hamilton is still the favorite to win next season. hamilton showed that he can hold his nerve and win as he did in brasil.

it really broke my heart with the way massa lost the championship in 2008. i was not a big fan of him but i wanted him to win. i know he worked hard for it and he somehow deserves it. but life has a funny way of surprising people. massa's family was already celebrating and then what... something happened to glock and hamilton got the championship. the 2009 title will be very much contended. alonso has shown that renault could be again in the race for championship, raikkonen had a bad 2008 but for sure he will try it again in 2009. and let us not forget hamilton (who i never liked -- i find him arrogant) commentators said that the real talents are kimi and alonso. and massa is pure hardwork. but still, i believe that hardwork pays off. i do hope massa would also have a championship.

There is no doubt massa deserves to win. He should win in this season. He won more races than any other in the last season.
