Former head of Renault’s F1 effort, Flavio Briatore, has been quoted as saying that he says Ferrari should stick with Felipe Massa for another season. He said: "I would keep Massa for another year [. . .] Massa is a good driver but he should never compare his times with those of Alonso."
Regarding Sebastian Vettel’s possible move to Ferrari, Briatore said: "I would never put Vettel and Alonso together so long as there is only one title for one driver,” and went on to say "We have seen it so many times in F1: Prost-Senna, Mansell-Prost, Alonso-Hamilton. They were experiments that divided the team and cost the drivers as well [. . .] Put it this way: if I had a slow driver, I would put someone beside him who is even slower."
When questioned about his future, Massa replied: "I have no news yet, but results help, and I think that it won’t take long." We will keep you updated on the story as it develops.
