I've never placed a sports bet in my life, but I just put £10 on Felipe Massa winning on Sunday.
Might sound like madness given what happened in Germany, but Felipe looked like a changed man in today's press conference. He had an air of defiance. Having obeyed his bosses on lap 49 last Sunday, he has since discussed the situation internally "with everyone" and has, it would appear, stated his intention not to yield again as long as he has a mathematical chance of winning the championship.
"All I can say is I'm very strong and looking forward to the victory," he said. "I will fight for the victory here, whatever the conditions. I will win. As long as I'm in the position to win, we must fight for the victory."
Countryman Rubens Barrichello, who found himself in Massa's shoes between 2000 and 2005 having to play bridesmaid to Michael Schumacher, telephoned the Ferrari driver earlier this week to commiserate and offer his advice. For Alonso to win because of team orders, he says, holds no honour. "If you win the world championship by one point because someone let you past, what's the point?"
Rubens left Ferrari because he grew tired of his 'number two' status. Massa says he refuses to agree to such constraints. "The time I say I'm the number two driver, I will not race anymore."
Massa thrives around the Hungaroring. In 2008 he drove one of the most impressive races of his life, stealing the lead from Lewis Hamilton at the start only for his engine to let him down in a plume of white smoke. A year on from his horrific accident (and the tyre marks Massa left are still clearly visible on the track) it would be fitting if the little Brazilian score maximum points here. Especially after the farce that was the German Grand Prix.
That's what I'm hoping, anyway. Now I have a vested interest.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
