Lewis Hamilton should fight fire with fire if his championship rival
Felipe Massa resorts to hostile tactics in Brazil next weekend, a famous observer insists.
As the 2008 season gets set to go down to the wire, former team owner Eddie Jordan recalls Massa's penalised move on Hamilton at the recent Japanese grand prix.
"People may not like me for saying this," the 60-year-old told the British newspaper the
Daily Express, "but if Massa tries to take him out as he did in Japan in order to steal the title then Lewis has to be ready for it."
Jordan believes that, should Massa make a similar move at Interlagos, Hamilton's 7 point gap gives him the distinct advantage.
"If he tries that on then Lewis has to turn his wheel into Massa to ensure he does not finish the race either -- he has to take his wheel off," he said.
