Sorry bodieanddoyle, I do agree with Blue Quinn 100%.
I feel it was a decision made a at Ferrari to maintain team spirit. In that way, its been a success. Would the team have been better off if they'd got rid of Massa immediately? The team then would know that there was no loyalty, so would only do their scheduled hours, and not a second more. The heart would be gone.
Yes, its a ruthless sport, but I think even the chairman of Ferrari must have agreed to allow Massa to more or less, convalesce in the driving seat. He will never regain his speed. I think this is his last season, and they might offer him some Ferrari ambassador's job, or something. But he is shot.
EDIT:
Not every team owner/manager would behave like Frank Williams. And thank goodness for that.
