Felipe Massa’s manager, Nicolas Todt has reportedly began negotiations with other teams, notably Renault, to secure a seat for the Brazilian in 2011 if Ferrari fail to renew his contract.
Rumours have linked Polish driver Robert Kubica, currently on a one-year deal with Renault, to the Italian team, suggesting a straight swap could be a possibility.
Massa has failed to impress in the F10, whilst Fernando Alonso took victory in the opening race of the season and has managed to out-race Massa on most occasions.
Massa though is hoping to stay with Ferrari: I like it very much at Ferrari,” he told Turun Sanomat. “I know everybody and everybody knows me.
“However, it is always encouraging to know that there are other fast cars that have an interest in me.
“The main objective is to continue with Ferrari, but if it doesn’t succeed, then I’m deemed to be elsewhere,” he said.
