Briatore: “Ferrari should confirm Massa for 2013”
The former team boss is also against an Alonso-Vettel pairing in Ferrari
Flavio Briatore said he is convinced that Ferrari should confirm Felipe Massa for another season. The Italian team has not yet decided on the driver to partner with Fernando Alonso next year but the former Renault boss said: "I would keep Massa for another year."
“Massa is a good driver but he should never compare his times with those of Alonso,” said Briatore. “I would never put Vettel and Alonso together, at least until only one title is awarded for the drivers” he reiterated.
“We've seen it many times in F1: Prost-Senna, Mansell-Prost, Alonso-Hamilton. They were experiments that divided the team and also cost the riders themselves a lot. Let's put it this way: if I had a slow driver, I would put an even slower driver next to him” he smiled.
Meanwhile, Massa declared that he expects "good news soon": "I don't have any news yet, but the results help, and I think it won't take long" explained the Brazilian.
