Montezemolo defends Felipe Massa seat at Ferrari 

“Felipe Massa is certainly not under discussion. In fact, Ferrari has the best driver duo of the world,” Ferrari President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was quoted as saying to Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I’m expecting from Felipe a great performance in Bahrain, following his great qualifying session in Malaysia,” the Italian businessman added.

Montezemolo said also to be happy with Ferrari’s immediate reaction after the disastrous Australian Grand Prix where both Raikkonen and Massa were stopped by engine issues: “I’m happy that the team reacted immediately. And I’m still convinced that we have an outstanding team and a really competitive car. I’m very confident of our potential because I know that there’s a good development program for our car.”
