Massa may NEVER return to his previous form. The fact that these guys are pulling 5 Gs laterally and negatively has to have an effect on their brains and eyes. Let's not forget he was in a drug induced coma just 3 months ago.
Should Massa eventually return to form and Alonso has a WDC point lead and Massa somehow does not relinquish position, I can see a blow up of massive proportions. Remember there is history with Massa and Alonso blowing up at each other a couple years ago in an after race, post weight scale episode.
.
this isn't directed at you but Alonso as 2x's WDC had a tough time consistently beating a rookie team mate when he was in a new car. Now he's getting in another new car against a guy who far from being a rookie and was one corner away from beating Alonso's old McLaren team mate for a title. Don't get me wrong I think Alonso is the most consistent driver (not the fastest) but he's far from unbeatable. I'm not sure I would even rate him one of the two fastest anymore.

I think Fernando's craftier and grittier than Massa is. I'm thinking of wet races where Fernando has either won, scored points, and on one occassion beaten Massa outright (anyone wanna pull up the translation of the argument afterward? 
). However, I think part of what helped Felipe close the gap to Raikkonen is constant work and analysis of ways to improve the car, nail down a strategy, and execute on Sunday.
However, I think Fernando's a more complete driver than Kimi in this respect, so Felipe will undoubtedly have his work cut out for him. My guess is that Fernando will edge Felipe out unless the car doesn't like his aggressive turn in and prefers a more gentle hand. Should be interesting though, I have to believe there's going to be some finger pointing, but hopefully not on a Spygate level.
