Michael Welcomes Massa to Ferrari
Michael Schumacher has welcomed Ferrari's decision to sign Brazilian Felipe Massa as his teammate for next season.
Michael said "I am happy for Felipe, In my view he deserves this chance as he is doing a good job since quite a while now. We have seen his talent lately in F1 but also when he was test driver for us.
"Because I did so few laps, I will also have to see what I can learn from Rubens' set-up, although of course I have done enough laps of this track to know what is required! It is hard to know what to expect in qualifying. As usual, strategy will be very important and I think ours will look more towards the race than to qualifying."
"And we have not been the only ones who were interested in him."
He added: "With Rubens I shared a nice time and a lot of beautiful memories. I wish him all the best in his new team."
