Lets face it, these guys are competitive and want to win and having a youngster embarrassed them must grate on the nerves. I please Massa has done such a great job this year, along with Kubica but Raikkonen has hardly looked like a reigning champ. All drivers make mistakes, including the greats like Senna, Prost, even Schumacher (occasionally and rather annoyingly) but just think back to Suzuka in 1989 when Senna intentionally ran Prost off the road, deja vu! Oh and don't forget 1994 with Schumacher / Hill. These guys are there to win and will do anything to achieve it, including off track mind games. But who is complaining, the closest field in years, great racing, and down to the wire, roll on China / Brazil. Can't wait!

Massa's ego has grown to gigantic proportions over the course of the season - sounds like he is starting to beleive his own (or more likely the FIA-arrari's) press. Steven Roy - I’m with you.

He made a mistake so they are having a dig. All drivers make mistakes but generally they get no coverage. Personally if I was a driver I would be more worried about Massa being arrogant and behaving like Schumacher. He rammed Lewis after he had lost the position and then expected Bourdais to evaporate to make room for him. The other drivers are simply having a pop when they can.
