Because even though he had ZERO CHANCE of closing the gap, Massa was driving successively faster laps to the finish, and drove the fastest lap of the race - of anybody- on the very last lap of the race.
What's up with that?
Massa coulda played it safe, coulda avoided taking chances, coulda thought "Well, I can't win so I'll slow down & ease off the throttle to avoid crashing" ... but instead he pulled out all the stops and drove all-out all the way to the finish.
That's the pure joy of driving the race. That's passion.
Race to win ... or drive something safe & practical like a Prius- and stay off the flippin' track.
A Purely Passionate PS:
Oooh, looks like Massa's a contender to win the 2007 Driver's Championship (a 3-way tie means the winner's gonna be decided two weeks from now in the Grand Prix of Brazil -- the last race of the season).
Aaah, wanna take a wild guess what country Massa happens to hail from?

Ahhh Ferrari...I say "hello lover" to the Ferrari....oh to drive Italian while wearing Italian...could it get any better than that?
Sorry Papa Ridgeback, but F1 is awful, horrible, and dreadfully boring to watch on TV.
In person, I am sure it is a completely different story, but on TV - it is AWFUL!
Oh Joe, say it ain't so ....
