What of Felipe Massa?

So the rumours of a Schumi-Kimi line up at Ferrari next year are getting stronger, and it could make for an interesting season - after all, we haven't had two 'top' Drivers at the same team for a very long time - but what about poor Felipe Massa? He's already signed to drive for Ferrari next year, but obviously if the above line up comes off, he'll be the best payed Third Driver in the Paddock.

He is so much better than going back to being a team's Third Driver, he deserves a race seat and has more than proved that this season. I'm sure he'll toe the company line and say that he'd rather be Third Driver for Ferrari than Race Driver for anyone else, but he won't mean it, how could a Racing Driver truely feel that way?!

Ferrari should loan him to Renault for the Season!

Rumours this morning surrounding the (already rumoured) Mercedes Benz buy out of Mclaren suggest that Mercedes have offered Kimi $64million for the next two years if he stays at McLaren Mercedes. So who knows, maybe Massa will retain his Race Drive after all - can't see it myself though.
