If Felipe Massa didn't have have problems with his fuel rig and such, who do you think would have won the it?

May be...

If Ferrari hadn't used that stupid traffic light system, Massa would have won the title.

If the Safety Car hadn't come out in Canada, Hamilton would have won the title by a lot more points.

If Massa's engine hadn't blown up in Hungary, then he might have won the title, but Hamilton had a puncture in the same race when he was still in with a chance of winning that race.

And so it continues, F1 is like that, what if?

I always compare F1 to snooker-
What would have happened if the ball hadn`t stopped over the pocket!
etc etc etc etc........
who knows
who cares..

with something like formula 1 the whole thing could be full of what ifs the bottom line is Lewis is the champion and nothing is going to change that
lets hope this season makes Massa more hungry for the title next year and it produces a great season next year

ifs buts and maybes

could of should of but he didn't.

Que Sera, Sera

well they both made costly mistakes and small ones as well. so either way....

If Hamilton had been ejected from F1 for ignoring a RED light and hitting Kimi then Massa would have taken the title ahead of Kubica & Kimi.
But, the powers that be saw fit to not kick out a clearly colour blind driver who will one day probably make 1 mistake too many & kill someone.
And it most likely will not be himself...

What if Hamilton's win in Spa hadn't been gifted to Massa? What if Massa was rightly given the penalty in Fuji instead of Bourdais? There are a lot of "what ifs" and so it probably works out pretty fairly between the two overall and I personally think the best man one.

Engine failures happen to all teams but the pit stop incident was an avoidable one and not something you'd expect from a team challenging for the title and that's probably what lost them the win.

The McLaren team got their tactics hopelessly wrong in Spain,arguably their most important race for years,which just proves that "human error" can never be discounted.

Yes he would have, but he did have problems with his fuel rig and his engine did fail, it's not just the driver but the team and his team let him down, as regards the fuel rig incident Ferrari should have been thrown out of the championship for it. It was downright f@@king dangerous not only to them but to everbody else within distance, no whinging, no exceptional circumstances, it was out of order and life threatening.

Also, his engine failure from the lead with 3 laps left at the Hungarian GP where Hamilton finished fifth, but it wouldn't fit in the title.

Any opinions? Cheers.

Obama would have no chance.

Well, if Massa had scored 1 more or Hamilton 1 less point, Massa would have won it. So if you reverse any of Massa's misfortune, the title would have been his.

But this is history and Hamilton won. End of Story

If both drivers had 100% reliability and the team made no mistakes, Massa would have won the title without a doubt.

It leads me to the conclusion that perhaps Massa should have won the drivers, and McLaren then constructors.

No, he was the driver who drove off with the rig attached.
bad driving and bad teamwork i'm afraid.
It would also have been settled weeks ago but for the Ferrari bias amongst the sports administrators.

I'm British too and not a Hamilton or a Ferrari obsessive fan. It can be argued that with the fuel line at singapore, the engine blowing in the last 3 laps plus the two retirements at the start of the season would probably have seen Massa delighted instead of disappointed. Then again Hamilton did get some questionable penalties, some deserved some not that would have affected the result too. Either way i think the result would have been the same running up to Interlagos.pretec gps drivers
