Felipe Massa: Will be staying at Ferrari for 2012 but must prove his worth
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali insists that Felipe Massa will drive for the Italian team during the 2012 season.
The Brazilian's contract runs out at the end of next year, but that has not stopped speculation that he could be replaced one season early.
But Domenicali has stated that Massa will once again partner Fernando Alonso in the new season, although he also thinks the 30-year-old will have a lot to prove in the final year of his current deal.
"I am also counting heavily on Felipe's will to fight back as he knows next year will be a key one in which, and I'm convinced of it, he will be able to show his true worth," he said during Ferrari's World Finals event at Mugello.
"As for the rumours regarding all the drivers who are due to arrive in Maranello to replace him, I can only repeat my words and indeed those only recently uttered by our president (Luca di Montezemolo), in every possible way, Felipe will also be with us in 2012 and that should make you understand how much faith we have in him."
