Luca di Montezemolo has dropped his strongest hint yet that Ferrari will look past Felipe Massa for 2013, when the Brazilian’s contract expires.
The Ferrari president admitted that, whilst the outfit didn’t have an issue with their drivers at present, a reshuffle could be on the cards at the end of next season.
“At the end of next season, we will have lots of possibilities,” he said. “There is a big choice. Today, the only problem that we don’t have is a driver problem.”
In regards to who could replace Massa, to sit alongside Fernando Alonso who is contracted to Ferrari until 2016, Montezemolo dropped the names of two drivers who have previously been linked to the outfit.
“We will see what happens with [Robert] Kubica as I hope that he can come back,” he added. “This year I also very much liked Nico Rosberg. He had a very good performance.
“And there are drivers with good potential who are not in competitive cars. This is a reason why I am in favour of a third car.”
