Massa still hopeful
Massa is still hopeful of a drive in the race seat of Scuddera Ferrari. This however looks like it will hinge on the decision of Michael Schumacher, as it's almost set that Kimi will join the team.
If Michael decides to stay in his current seat alongside Kimi, then it seems that Massa's only chance of a seat in the Scarlet car is if he reprises his role as tester.
That may actually turn out to be a good decision, as he will almost certainly get upgraded to the driver role when Michael decides to call it a day.
Massa's contract is due for renewal at the end of the year, and there seems to be very little options available to him if he want's a competitive race seat.
However do the team internally think that Michael will make way for the new boys? Kimi and Massa racing at Ferrari would make a good combination, and the fact that Massa has certainly got better over the season would show it to be a good decision at the Italian team.
Ferrari is due to unveil it's 2007 driver lineup at it's home Grand Prix at Monza next month, so we will know for sure then.
