Massa discusses his future with Ferrari

Felipe Massa does not hide it, his future within the Team is uncertain after a difficult start to the season. Income in Formula 1 At the beginning of 2010, after a terrible accident during the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix, the Brazilian was nothing more than a shadow of himself. Lined up alongside Fernando Alonso since his return, the Paulist has suffered from the comparison with the double world champion. After 11 Grands Prix, Massa has only scored 23 points while his teammate leads the championship with 164 points. Despite everything, he is focused on the rest of his season to prove that he deserves his place.

« For the moment, I am fully focused on the races to come, explains the Brazilian. Thanks to the work of the team, my performance has clearly improved and I am really motivated to do good things. There are discussions, but there is no rush and I have nothing to say. The most important thing for me is to fight for the podium, even if my teammate is ahead of me in the standings. For me, the priority is always to try to finish in the Top 3, but if in a race Fernando is in front of me, I will try to help him. »
