I'm impressed with the drivers being able to brush the team's errors away and even defend them:

HALF POINTS - It was a forgettable day for Massa as well. The Brazilian, ninth, tried to see the glass as "half" full, in the true sense of the word. "We console ourselves with the fact that the others got half points and that it wasn't a normal race," explained the Brazilian. "With everything that happened you can make the right decisions or the wrong decisions. The heavy rain was due to come and we thought that we would put our wets on, but instead the rain came later and our tyres were ruined. I did a lap with the intermediates and the heavy rain started. That lost us the chance to get some points. Was it better to start a little further forward on the grid? Kimi who started further up also made a bad decision. In China? We'll start from zero, there will be a few small things that will improve the car a little. Brawn too good even in the rain? Yes."
CHANCE - Massa downplayed the team's mistakes: "With everything that happened during the race," Massa continued, "we could have made the right decision or the wrong one with the tyres. Looking at the forecast we decided to put the wets on hoping the rain would come quickly, instead it only rained a little and I ruined my tyres. Then I put the intermediates on but I did one lap and the heavy rain started... We lost a chance to get some points, even if only half, but we could have got something. Instead we got nothing." http://english.gazzetta.it/Motor_spo...oferrari.shtml
