Radio Message feeds Massa-Hamilton feud

The controversy surrounding the Singapore seemed due to dissipate but new footage from the race has stoked up further recrimination.

The official highlights video includes a radio message from Rob Smedley (Massa’s engineer) in which he is heard to say: "Hold Hamilton as much as we can. Destroy his race as much as we can. Come on, boy..."

There was a further confrontation after the race when Massa sarcastically congratulated Hamilton in the television interview area after the Brit clipped him on lap 12. The incident removed Hamilton’s front wing, punctured Massa’s tyre and landed Hamilton with a drive through penalty.

Massa has been vocal in his criticism of Hamilton, saying afterwards "my thoughts are that, again, I told you yesterday that he cannot use his mind."

The latest revelations only serve to stoke the embers of discontent in both camps.
