If Massa had've spent another lap out running at SC speed and pitted once the race was under way again he would've ended up much farther back.

Yes of course they do. But they haven't been running a race very well recently.
This is a very competitive field now, their car is less than superior than the Red Bulls and McLarens, and even Renaults sometimes.
Pit stop rotation under safety car is just pure luck most of the time. Look at Schumi, he was just one second slower to pit and cost him dearly. You might be right, but we never know. I just don't feel like sitting on the pit lane waiting while losing many grid spot waiting for the team to complete Alonso's pit stop is just not too wise and will prone to mistakes from pressure. Remember Singapore 2008? Kimi was the second to pit and waited. The "light control" man was anxious to get Massa out of the way and catastrophic disaster.
Sometimes just luck, and sometimes you might be able to make the luck works towards you better.
