Massa expected to be confirmed at Ferrari soon

After Felipe Massa's disastrous start to the season, the Brazilian's future seemed increasingly uncertain within the Scuderia. If Fernando Alonso, spearhead of the Italian team, supports his teammate who assumes the status of second driver, Maranello missed out on valuable points in the Manufacturers' Championship since the Sao Paulista had only won 11 points in the first eight Grands Prix of this year. However, he seems more comfortable in this second part of the season since he has not left the top ten since the Hungarian Grand Prix, even signing his first podium of the year at Suzuka before taking fourth place yesterday. in South Korea.

Felipe Massa?s performances are therefore improving as the end of the year approaches, which could be partly explained by a release of pressure. Everything now suggests that the Brazilian will extend his contract with the Scuderia which could make the news official before the Indian Grand Prix which will be contested in two weeks. “I have no doubts about my presence at Ferrari (in 2013), we will just wait for the right moment to communicate it”, even admitted the Brazilian to Autosport.

Ferrari should therefore probably not interfere in transfers for next season. Sauber F1 Team is being studied closely with a list of drivers likely to be entirely new since the names of Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutiérrez are mentioned. Force India is also fueling speculation that puts Jaime Alguersuari and Adrian Sutil ahead. An announcement from Caterham F1 Team is still awaited regarding the possible arrival of Charles Pic.
