Two weeks ago I wrote, "Can Felipe Massa Get a Break?", since it seemed that Massa was plagued by bad luck and team blunders. However, Massa committed a major blunder in the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix. In an overly aggressive move to regain a track position that was just taken by Lewis Hamilton, Felipe punted Lewis in the side and spun the Championship leader. Hamilton was relegated to last place and all but ended his chance to gain any championship points. Massa was later penalized with a drive-through penalty.
Not to be immune to personal blunders, Lewis Hamilton pushed Kimi Raikkonen wide on the first corner of the race, forcing Kimi off the track with Kimi loosing several track positions. Hamilton was later penalized with a drive-through penalty for the incident and thus adding more salt to his wounds.
In the end, Massa made a very commendable drive through the field and ended up eighth in the race. This moved Massa to within six points of Hamilton with two races to go. So, if Massa and Hamilton don't take each other out in the last two races, the 2008 F1 season finale should be very exciting. Let's hope that both Hamilton and Massa can keep their cool and race to the finish with no personal blunders marring the end of their race season.
