Felipe Massa has advised former team-mate Fernando Alonso not to move to McLaren next season amid rumours the Spaniard is considering an offer from the Woking outfit.
The Brazilian, who himself left Ferrari last year to join Williams, says he’s never been happier after the change, but says Alonso should remain at Ferrari for 2015 at least.
When asked if he should move, he replied: “No. It was different for me. If I was him I would not to go McLaren,” he added. “Mercedes, yes. Red Bull, I don’t know.
“He should only move to a team where he can win and I think Honda and McLaren will be a good chapter but not for winning next year.”
Alonso leaving Ferrari without having won a title could be deemed a complete failure according to Massa.
“Yes, maybe, you could say that,” he agreed. “But Alonso is not stupid, he knows what to do. I think he will continue in Ferrari next year, but you know anything can always happen.”
The two-time champion is known to be growing unhappy at Ferrari after five years of playing second fiddle to Red Bull, but has denied any speculation about his future.
