Todt: “Felipe wants to continue with Ferrari”

Felipe Massa is undoubtedly the driver about whom the craziest rumors have been circulating since the start of the season. According to his agent, Nicolas Todt, the Brazilian should continue with Ferrari because the mutual desire to continue the adventure is very present. “ You know well that the F1 is full of rumors, often false, he tells Europe 1. Felipe has been under contract with Ferrari since 2001, he has been an official driver since 2006 and really wants to continue with the team. According to my latest discussions with Ferrari, I think it's a mutual desire. »

For Nicolas Todt, if Felipe Massa was unable to prove his true value this season, it is more due to the qualities of the Ferrari F10. “ He approaches this circuit (Istanbul) in a fairly confident manner but it also depends on the car he has. I'm not sure he has a car to win today. But he still has a car to do well. »

Currently fifth in the championship, Felipe Massa is ahead of Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. For the Brazilian?s agent, the results of his start to the season are not so bad. “ Even if he has not had an exceptional start to the season, he is 17 points behind the championship leader which, with the old points scale, represents second place. He is one of the only drivers to have finished all the races and to have scored points each time (with Mark Webber, editor's note). We know well that to postpone a championship, you have to score points as regularly as possible. So we must not dramatize the situation. »
