Nice to have direct quotes from Massa himself.

Great news, though Ferrari have said that the quotes are not from Felipe Massa himself, but from his brother Edoardo. Who would have thought that the News of the World would make such an error? ![]() Ferrari also stated that Massa's first interview since his crash will be released tomorrow. |

Not too bad considering what hit him at 150 mph. Perhaps a comeback this year is possible, Brazil maybe? |

I'm sure he will return when he is ready... Q. Ideally he should have a test in the car to evaluate fully if he is race fit... do you think Ferrari should ask the teams permission for this...

Well John..... having a recuperating driver testing to regain familiarity as opposed to one giving testing feedback to better the car is an area that certainly needs tweeking from the powers that be, regardless of the team. |

Very true... but of course a two year absence from the cockpit testing in a car with no new development parts (possibly limited to 20 laps) would not advance a teams car development much if at all either... but discussion is now a dead end.

It depends whether such an evaluation could properly take place on a straight-line or constant radius track, as is stated in the regulations. It's not ideal but certainly plausible that Ferrari could make do with what is permitted rather than seeking an exemption. |

No doubt Ferrari will know better the answer to that question when they conduct similar 'permitted testing' with Schumacher this week...

True. They will have to be careful though, as the regulations only permit eight straight-line or constant radius tests. I don't know how many they have conducted so far this year but they could get close to the limit. |
