Massa: Ferrari are standing by me Felipe Massa is adamant that he has the full support of Ferrari and will find a way out of his current slump. According to rumours in the Formula One paddock, Massa’s days at Ferrari are numbered after a lacklustre start to the season coupled with the disappointments of last year. These reports were given some weight earlier this week when Ferrari appeared to publicly put pressure on their Brazilian, saying in a statement that “everyone, he more than anyone, is expecting a change of gear starting right away with the Monaco Grand Prix.” Ferrari, though, were quick to deny that they have run out of patience while Massa is adamant he has the full support of his team. “Absolutely, yes, I feel the whole team stands by me,” the 31-year-old said in an interview on the Ferrari website. “Obviously, they are not happy with the results and neither am I: we all want is to get out of this and return to normal. “It’s possible and for sure it’s what I want and I know that with the team’s help we will manage it.” He added that his new F2012 was “definitely not a very easy car to drive” and gave his team-mate Fernando Alonso credit for managing to get the most out of the car.
