Ferrari’s Felipe Massa has expressed his hopes to stay on at Ferrari despite strong rumours linking Kimi Raikkonen and Nico Hulkenberg to replace him.
“This race was important, not just for my contract but also to show the other teams what I’m able to do,” he said after the Italian GP.
Massa also said that he was still discussing his future with the team. However, team president Luca Di Montezemolo said that the team is yet make their decision.
“We will think very, very carefully, because we don’t have a gun here [pointing at is head] to decide tomorrow or after tomorrow, but after Monza this will be something I want to decide,” Montezemolo said to BBC sport.
Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso insisted that he had no preference about his teammate for next season and will be happy if Massa is retained.
“It is a team decision; all the names for me are the same. I have a huge respect for Felipe. He is a great professional driver working hard in the simulator and with the team,” he said.
