FERRARI MADE IT CLEAR: NOT GOING TO SWAP MASSA WITH HAMILTON

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has made it clear he would not swap Felipe Massa for Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton won the championship by a point at the end of a remarkable season, with the Brazilian agonisingly missing out in front of his home crowd in Sao Paulo. The final race led to some controversy also.


Speaking at Ferrari's Christmas party, Di Montezemolo said: "Let's make this clear: Lewis Hamilton is a great driver who was able to get within a whisker of the title in his first year in F1 before winning it in his second. However, with all due respect, I wouldn't change him with Felipe Massa. Felipe is extremely popular, for the man he is, for the great driver he's demonstrated to be, and for the beautiful way he lost the championship."
