Felipe Massa’s 5 Greatest Ferrari Moments

5 €“ Hungary 2008 - Owning the First Corner

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC7-Qdcj7wQ After being beaten in qualifying, at a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult, Felipe Massa made a fantastic start to the Hungarian Grand Prix. Flying off the grid, he took a quick tow from Hamilton and then barged around the outside through turn one with a gutsy move, holding off the McLaren to sweep into the lead. He then swiftly drove away from Hamilton, leaving him behind and stretching the gap to over 20 seconds. Ultimately the day was not to be his, as with just three laps to go his engine blew, due to a faulty con rod. In a race he completely dominated, delivering a flawless performance with ruthless style, he was cruelly robbed of a completely deserved victory. But despite that, he thoroughly put his stamp on the event and Hamilton that day in Hungary, and it was fantastic to see.
