Jules Bianchi does not rule out the Ferrari track

Without wanting to rush things, he is considering it. In an interview given the newspaper Nice-Matin, Jules Bianchi does not rule out seeing his future go through Ferrari from next season, while the position of Felipe Massa, starter with the Italian team since 2006, seems increasingly weakened. “Honestly, it?s a little early to talk about that. Me, today, I am thinking above all about achieving the best possible end to the season?, declared the Frenchman, who made a promising debut at the highest level in one of the least competitive single-seaters on the grid. “This winter I joined the Marussia team very late. Despite this handicap, we managed to obtain some correct results from the outset, during the distant tests. Then it got more complicated. As my number 1 objective was to finish all the races, I regret a little the small mechanical problems which stopped me in Monaco and in Germany. Now, the main thing, in my eyes, is that in the space of six months, I have already gained a lot of experience. »

Performances that delight Ferrari, where Jules Bianchi is part of the Driver Academy. And which could allow him to make a jump into this cutting-edge team faster than expected. “I don’t know what Ferrari’s strategy is regarding me. If they call on me one day, it’s because they think I’m ready. Maybe they will ask me to join them this winter? Such a scenario, I sure won’t refuse it! Otherwise, one more season at Marussia or elsewhere, to increase my background, it won't be a bad thing, specified the Nice resident, who is welcome to another year with the Anglo-Russian team, according to John Booth, Team Principal of Marussia. “They gave me my chance by F1, I don't forget it. So, all I can say is that if I stay with them in 2014, it will not be reluctantly”. According to the Frenchman, a decision should not be expected before the end of the season.
