Massa pits, and comes out in 20th, at the end of the pack.
That's not going to help his situation...

Probably not. Five Live Extra need to learn-when a car pits, the driver has pitted the car. If you say the driver has stopped the car without specifying where,we assume he is out :P

It has come to my attention that sometime around April, Jenson Button was kidnapped, with an identical doppelganger that has none of Button's driving skills replacing him. A reward of many HWNSNBM points to anyone who can locate the real Jenson Button.

Someone with the driving skills of Giovanna Amati, obviously. Maybe it is Giovanna Amati...

That is the real Button, ponder instead what type of doppelgänger replaced him in early 2009. Thankfully this year starts to expose again what people knew before 2008: that Jenson Button is nothing but a midfielder with questionable talents.

If you'd told my 10 years old self that I'd someday pity Schumacher for all the troubles he's having, he would have laughed. Seriously, there is bad luck and then there is this.

I have some suggestions:

The real Button...
...is made to think he is a chicken due to a bad hypnotist.
...is knocked unconscious by Barney at Moe's Tavern in an argument over the greatest British prime minister of all time (Pitt the Elder or Lord Palmerston)
...overdoses on nerve tonic, resulting in an extreme case of Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism).
...is arrested by the incompetent police force because they assume he is guilty of every unsolved crime that took place in New York City and faces six consecutive life sentences.
...disappears in the "Melbourne Mystery Spot," which is apparently a portal to another dimension.
...is distracted by rescuing a woman and her possessions from a house fire.
...is kicked off the team by Martin Whitmarsh for refusing to shave his non-existent sideburns.
...is hospitalized due to radiation poisoning from working in the plant.
MIA SAN MIA!
