Would there be another Lewis Hamilton-Felipe Massa crash spectacle?

Bitter rivals dating back to the 2008 season.

    You've hit the nail on the head. My opinion is that after 2008, they no longer want to surrender a position to each other for a moment on track. Unfortunately, they keep finding themselves next to each other on track.

    I think it's interesting to note that they never think of the long term - any oppurtunity, they go for, and then try to back out. (Some of the incidents have been quite half-hearted overtakes in my opinion.)

    Back to the whole long term thing. There's always an oppurtunity to try the undercut, or use the DRS zone - and whilst I'd rather see old fashioned, wheel to wheel racing, I think they could use the resources available to them rather than pouncing on any small error. The problem is that neither wants to stare at the gearbox of the other for a second longer than they can help it, which is why they seem to have these incidents in narrow, single file corners - such as India Turn 5 and Monaco Lowes Hairpin. (Speaking of which - can't any of these new tracks give their corners names????)

    So yes. There will be another incident.

    If Hamilton ends up behind Massa at some point, then yes probably.

    I'm sure you may of heard of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prosts end of season crashes in 1989/90, but they were both up for world championships, both Hamilton and Massa have at times, been embarrassed by their team mates this year, they should be ashamed of them selves.

    On a personal note, Massa is no longer worthy of a place in F1, his confidence has been rock bottom since the Nurburgring team order last year and his raw pace has never fully re appeared since the end of the 2008 season. Hamilton has been spoiled at McLaren and needs a serious reality check if he's ever going to win another title, with his raw pace, he should be beating Button.

    I wouldnt be surprised if there is a crash....specially in Abu Dhabi, which has been criticized for its lack of overtaking opportunities. They already had a touch and go situation there last year.
