Official: Massa to stay with Ferrari until 2010

I wonder...FM is managed by the son of Todt and Todt hates Alsonoso so so much for being snubbed one time (and probably for robbing and stealing two wdc titles from MS.............................

Hummmm......who is better driver, "Felipme crash into car door Massa" or "freddie the blackmailerbeat by da rookie"....gee would I want the fastest of the two, or NOT WANT the one that might blackmail my team into losing all constructor points and 100 million dollars for a year or two....

gee I don't know, that is a tough one

But let's not forget that Massa has been under contract to Ferrari since 2001 and despite that, he hasn't always been driving a red car!

It's quite predictable that having Kimi in hand wouldn't give Alonso a seat at Ferrari, unless a force majeure happens one of the drivers decided to retire or moving somewhere else.
Massa is the right man in the right place and deserves that extended contract.

Although using the current formation of drivers would it make Ferrari quite up to topple the powerful Hamilton at McLaren, with or without Alonso being there.

sorry, should have added, "if he can not beat Kimi and be number one or else his laptop is going....." :D

man that is still a tough one :s mokin:

I think it was a good decision to keep Massa. He is a Ferrari guy, team player and in level with Alonso. There is only one driver who is better than Massa and he already is a Ferrari driver (Kimi) so very good and wise decision .. of Todt and company… :)

PS:I wonder what are Felipe's detractors thinking about this?!

Well, if they believe you, then it is reasonable to assume they think he is best qualifier this season.

He has signed a contract up to and including 2010 but it does not mean that he will always be in a Ferrari as a race driver....we have no idea of any clauses that Ferrari have written in and I reckon that this is a smokescreen.

Who was Alesi's team mate in 93 then?

Gerhard Berger. :bulb:

"I reckon that this is a smokescreen"

Why? I think Ferrari would be foolish to get involved with Fred and his insanity. Massa seems to be a perfect #2 who doesn't complain and follows orders. Ferrari can win many championships with Kimi and Massa.
