Alonso doesn't scare Massa

Despite the arrival of the double world champion at his side at Ferrari, Felipe Massa is not worried. The Brazilian, who experienced competition from Kimi Räikkönen well, is now preparing to team up with a driver who is already a world champion. “ Anyone who comes to Ferrari is always a talented driver because they have always recruited the best “, declared the Brazilian on Jovem Pan FM radio.

Therefore, competition from Fernando Alonso, which he judges as “ a great pilot, one of the best in Formula 1 ", don't scare the 2008 world vice-champion. " I will do what I have always done: try to win. » Despite everything, and even if he wants to win, the Brazilian wants to be able to work in peace with his new teammate.

« Work within a team is always collective, continues Massa. Schumacher had a big influence at Ferrari because he had won before. He arrived, worked and made a competitive team. To be in this position you have to work hard and get results. »

After having supported, in 2006, Michael Schumacher, who was playing his last season with Ferrari there, Felipe Massa had Kimi Räikkönen as a teammate for three seasons. Fernando Alonso will therefore be the third world champion driver that the Brazilian will have as a teammate within the Scuderia.
