GP-Sieger Felipe Massa (Ex-Ferrari): Knallhartes Urteil über neue Formel 1
Die Rennwagen der Generation 2026 geben viel zu reden, unter Fahrern wie Fans gleichermassen. So richtig begeistert sind nur wenige, Handlungsbedarf sehen viele, als gnadenlose Kritiker haben sich Max Verstappen, Lando Norris und Carlos Sainz vorgetan. Der Kern ihres Unmuts: zu viel Energie-Management, zu wenig Racing. Dieser Ansicht ist auch der 44-jährige Brasilianer Felipe Massa, der von Australien 2002 bis Abu Dhabi 2017 bei 269 WM-Läufen an den Start gegangen ist.

Agora, o objetivo é repetir a dose e ainda levantar o inédito troféu de pilotos.
Felipe Massa questions Lance Stroll’s level with brutal Fernando Alonso comparison
Felipe Massa claims Fernando Alonso would be capable of beating Lance Stroll at even the age of 65, in a scathing insult as to how he sees the 27-year-old Canadian’s reputation in Formula 1. Stroll is widely believed to only be on the grid due to his father owning the Aston Martin team, with critics claiming he wouldn’t have even made it into the sport without his billionaire dad buying his way into Williams in 2017.

Courtois sa stal spolumajiteľom francúzskeho druholigistu, pridal sa k tenistovi Djokovičovi
Belgický futbalový brankár Thibaut Courtois zo španielskeho Realu Madrid sa stal súčasťou brazílskeho investičného fondu OutField, ktorý je väčšinovým vlastníkom francúzskeho druholigového klubu Le Mans FC. Okrem neho sú súčasťou fondu aj srbská tenisová hviezda Novak Djokovič a brazílsky motoristický pretekár Felipe Massa. Courtois prostredníctvom videa na YouTube vysvetlil fanúšikom Le Mans, že ho zamestnáva harmonogram v „bielom balete“, no čoskoro klub navštívi.
"When victory opportunities are limited, it's normal to make mistakes"
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the two leading drivers of Scuderia Ferrari, form a duo that emphasizes their harmony. Their ability to work together, both in races and in qualifying, has often been praised by Frederic Vasseur himself. However, when it comes to predicting who will come out on top in the next Formula One season, opinions can differ.
2008 Formula 1 title dispute continues: Felipe Massa not welcomed to attend Brazil GP
Felipe Massa appears likely to skip the Formula 1 race scheduled for Brazil this weekend due to his ongoing legal challenge regarding the outcome of the 2008 championship. The Brazilian driver has turned to legal counsel to explore a lawsuit over what he believes was a conspiracy that led to his loss of the 2008 World Championship in favor of Lewis Hamilton.
The Things I Will Never Forget | By Felipe Massa
Para ler em Português, clique aqui. (This article has been translated from the original in Portuguese) I’m not particularly good at music. I listen to it, and appreciate it, of course, and I’ve even posed as a guitarist with a badass guitar that Ferrari released once. But my musical talent, if you can call it that, stops there. This is a big confession for a Brazilian, I know.
Ferrari react to Felipe Massa's legal action amid 2008 Formula 1 title controversy
Scuderia Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has indicated that the Maranello team is actively pursuing clarity from the FIA concerning Felipe Massa’s 2008 legal action. However, he personally holds reservations about altering race outcomes, especially over a decade later. Recently, the former Ferrari driver initiated legal action against Formula 1 and the FIA.

Felipe Massa sobre vice polêmico da Fórmula 1 em 2008: 'Só quero a justiça'
Em entrevista à CNN, o ex-piloto brasileiro Felipe Massa afirmou que espera justiça sobre o ocorrido no GP de Singapura de Fórmula 1 em 2008, e relembrou a perda do título para Lewis Hamilton. As declarações do brasileiro acontecem após o ex-chefe da F1, Bernie Ecclestone, afirmar ao site alemão “F1 Insider” que se omitiu ao não ter cancelado o resultado do Grande Prêmio de Singapura daquele ano, quando tinha conhecimento do que realmente havia ocorrido.
Order from Chaos: How Networked Activists Self-Organize by Creating a Participation Architecture
Self-organization has been touted by scholars and practitioners alike as a means to avoid the shortcomings of managerial control and actualize human potential (Brafman and Beckstrom, 2006; Fjeldstad et al., 2012; Gulati, Puranam, and Tushman, 2012; Majchrzak, Malhotra, and Zaggl, 2020).
Driving Senna's first Formula 1 car
Having a show like this for the fans is really nice. Actually, when I first landed in the UK I saw everything was white with snow and I wasn't sure we would even be able to drive. In Brazil the weather is sometimes nice enough to go to the beach at this time of year, so it was quite a shock... I also didn't know the style of this event, so had no idea we would be driving indoors!The event looks really good - so many different cars, different categories, and different drivers.
Massa column: F1 farewell not the end of my career
After the chequered flag at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix I decided to do something a bit special – that isn’t really covered by the FIA rules. But after 15 years of Formula 1, I am sure I will be forgiven. Following the lap of honour, I went with my car to the start/finish straight with the two Mercedes drivers to celebrate with a spectacular burnout.
Massa column: Brazil will need to solve F1 driver problem
I could not have asked for more at my last Brazilian Grand Prix. Emotionally, it was an intense weekend, but I experienced many positive feelings. On the sporting front too, I believe I played a big part in achieving the maximum possible result for both myself and the Williams Martini Racing team. We managed to finish the race behind the top three teams, and it was impossible to hope for anything more.
Massa column: Renault now biggest threat for fifth place
The overall feeling coming away from the Malaysia and Japan double-header was a positive one. Williams Martini Racing has strengthened its fifth position in the constructors’ championship, and this is ultimately the main goal for myself and the team in the final races of the year. At Sepang we got two cars home in the points, while at Suzuka we managed to bring home an important 10th place – which was crucial because our direct rivals did not score. The Japanese GP was a very difficult race though.
Massa column: Vettel too forceful in Singapore GP start
I had been expecting an uphill weekend in Singapore, which was confirmed in many respects, but I left the track with the satisfaction that we were at least close to finishing in the top 10. As seems to be the rule for everyone in Singapore, we experienced a weekend full of unforeseen events at the Marina Bay circuit. In my case it started with a poor qualifying. On my final lap in Q1, I made a mistake by touching one of the walls on the track.
Massa column: Excessive Belgian GP penalty left a bitter taste
It was during these days 12 months ago that I was preparing for my arrival at the Italian Grand Prix full of emotion, ready to announce my retirement. This time around I’m getting ready for a normal racing weekend with Martini Williams Racing, even though whenever I’m at Monza I always have a special feeling. The Italian Grand Prix is my second home race, and I have always enjoyed great support from Italian fans, both in F1 and in my junior single-seater career.
Massa column: Qualifying frustrations prove costly in Britain
The story of my British Grand Prix weekend was similar to that of the Red Bull Ring. That means a quite difficult qualifying session but then a good comeback in the race that allowed me the finish in the points for Williams Martini Racing. However, this time the reasons for what happened were very different. As opposed to Austria, this time it was the tricky conditions with a damp track that slowed me in qualifying.
Massa column: F1's new generation should have more respect
Formula 1 is often unpredictable. Within two weeks of finding myself in the hunt for a victory in Baku, I was starting from the ninth row of the grid at the Red Bull Ring.
Massa column: Monza result timely ahead of tough races
I think we had a good Italian Grand Prix at Monza. I was very happy with the overall result for Williams Martini Racing, with two cars in the points on a weekend where we were very close to the top teams. At the same time I am also happy to have been able to run in front of an incredible crowd, who were fantastic right from the start of first free practice.
Massa column: My regret over a race I could have won
Instead, the outcome was merely that I was put on the list of non-finishers. So I left with zero points and a lot of regret for a race where there was the chance to seize a great result. Throughout practice and qualifying I had a very good feeling about the pace of my Williams Martini Racing car. I was sure we would easily qualify in the top ten, and that was confirmed with the results.
Massa column: I'm ready to stay in F1 in 2018
A Formula 1 race that ends after just three corners is one of those things that you want to forget very quickly. In Canada, we had the potential for a really good result. Both myself and Williams Martini Racing knew that Montreal would be a circuit that suited our package, and before the race we were very optimistic. The start itself went well, and I managed to keep hold of my seventh position.
Massa column: No regrets as F1 career nears its end
I had promised myself that I would go to my home Brazilian Grand Prix with a clear vision about my future, which is why I asked Williams Martini Racing for an answer about 2018 before this weekend. And, as I think you now know, my F1 adventure will end after this season. With the decision taken, I am approaching the final two grands prix of my career in a relaxed manner.
Massa column: Alonso clash cost us fourth place
I feel a bit sad when I have to look back over the Spanish Grand Prix. The weekend had actually started well with Williams Martini Racing completing all that we wanted to do and having a real hope of being able to deliver a good race. But unfortunately my race was ultimately decided by contact immediately after the start at Turn 2. I don't know what Fernando Alonso was trying to do at that point, but I did not have the chance to avoid a collision with his car.
Massa column: Bahrain confirmed we're best of the rest
I think I can sum up the Bahrain Grand Prix as a good weekend for Williams Martini Racing. At the end of the race, I had the feeling that we had done the best we could throughout the weekend. Since the free practice sessions, the feeling with the car was very good, even in the considerable heat we faced in FP1. The positive results also came from the race simulation we completed in FP2, and after the long-run I realised that we had some good chances in Sunday's race.
Massa column: Chinese GP hopes wrecked by tyre degradation
Williams Martini Racing arrived in Shanghai on the crest of a wave after the positive weekend in Melbourne, where we had had a really good first race. I had proper hope of being able to continue in the same form in China, and qualifying seemed to confirm my feeling. Sixth place on the grid was the best we could have done, and starting from the third row of the grid is always a good basis to set up the race.
Massa column: Puncture costly in Ricciardo points battle
The Russian Grand Prix was a good event for myself and the Williams Martini Racing team. I had a good feeling all weekend and everything worked well – from the first practice sessions through qualifying and the start of the race. The only downside was a slow puncture in the final stages. It meant we had to make another pitstop, and that cost us three positions. It was a shame because we deserved to finish in sixth place, and instead I came home ninth.
Massa column: Mercedes still quicker, but Ferrari can be champions
So here we are again. After saying goodbye at the end of 2016, it was not very long before the Williams Martini Racing team asked me if I wanted to come back. My answer was, of course, yes. I spent a challenging winter in terms of physical preparation, and the tests at Barcelona left me with a positive feeling: the new car felt very good and, even if the three days of testing were not enough to understand it 100 percent, I still left for Melbourne feeling upbeat.
Italian GP: Massa tops final practice washout
Rain did not arrive as expected on Friday, but showers overnight were followed by heavier rain on Saturday morning at Monza. F1 race director Charlie Whiting then delayed the start of F1 practice "indefinitely" as the risk of aquaplaning was "high". The clock continued to run down as there has to be a two-hour gap between the end of FP3 and the start of qualifying.
Massa column: My secret farewell to home fans
The Brazilian Grand Prix was a beautiful week. It was intense, exciting, and ended with a Formula 1 weekend that I will not forget for a lifetime. Obviously I knew beforehand that Interlagos would be special and it began with some fantastic events.
Brazilian GP: Hamilton stays on top in FP2, McLaren hits trouble
Hamilton, quickest in the morning, posted a 1:12.271 to finish ahead of Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg by just 0.030 seconds in a session that stay dry, despite the fear of rain earlier in the day. Surprisingly, Williams emerged as the main challenger to Mercedes, with Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa in third and fourth. Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen had to settle for fifth and sixth, over half a second off the pace.
Brazilian GP: Top 10 quotes after Friday free practice
“First practice was really good this morning, we then made some changes for second practice which meant my short run pace wasn’t fantastic, along with the increase in track temperature. We went back on some of those changes and the long run in FP2 looked quite positive. I think we are happy with the pace over that distance, we just need to make some modifications for to get the short distance pace back.
Massa column: Why the US Grand Prix left me with a bitter taste
The United States Grand Prix was one of those weekends that left me with a bitter taste. Together with the Williams Martini Racing team, we worked really well, and a few laps from the end of the race there was a real opportunity to have finished in fifth pace – which would have been a great reward for our efforts. But let’s rewind a little bit to the middle phase of the race when I was in front of Toro Rosso’s Carlos Sainz by about six seconds.
Massa column: Why F1 drivers are struggling with starts
The Japanese Grand Prix weekend was one that at times seemed very difficult, but in the end Williams Martini Racing still managed to get some important points for the world championship. Achieving that had been far from certain before the start of the race, considering that on Saturday we had not been able to make it through to the Q3 session. After qualifying, though, we decided to focus on a one-stop strategy.
Jeep Grand Wagoneer could target Range Rover with $140K price tag
Jeep has been teasing the idea of a Grand Wagoneer revival for quite some time now — since 2011, to be exact. But only recently did Jeep boss Mike Manley officially let slip some of the details surrounding the up-and-coming luxury SUV. In a new interview, Manley confirmed that the Grand Wagoneer project is indeed “moving forward.” The new vehicle will arrive first in the form of a concept, and pending initial success move into the production stages.
2017 Ford F-150 gets fuel economy boost from powertrain upgrades
Ford’s powertrain upgrades for the 2017 F-150 yield impressive fuel economy gains. The trucks receive an improved 3.5-liter biturbo EcoBoost V6 that now makes 375 horsepower (279.6 kilowatts) and 470 pound-feet of torque (637.2 Newton-meters) – up from 365 hp (272.2 kW) and 420 lb-ft (569.4 Nm) from the engine last year. The pickups also benefit from a new ten-speed automatic gearbox.
Massa: I feel Hamilton's pain, but I've had worse
The weekend in Malaysia started with different ambitions from the previous race in Singapore. We knew that our Williams Martini Racing car would behave better at the high-speed Sepang, and on this front we had no surprises. We confirmed a good competitive showing already in the qualifying session, which saw me get into Q3 very close to Force India, which is our closest rival in the constructors' standings.
2018 Mercedes S Class spied with revised headlights and interior
Each time we see images of the 2018 Mercedes S Class, a little piece of the jigsaw falls into place. We already knew it would receive revised lighting and interior elements, but the videos you see here, filmed by Youtuber walkoART, are the first clear indication of what they could end up looking like when the car goes into production.
2018 Audi RS5 Coupe brings roll cage to the Nordschleife
Audi was at the Nürburgring yet again the other day to abuse a prototype of the RS5 Coupe ahead of the model’s big reveal scheduled for 2017. Riding super low and hiding some huge air vents at the front, the partially camouflaged quattro-equipped test vehicle had the RS-specific alloy wheels as well as the dual oval exhaust tips reserved for the flagship version of a model’s range.
Massa column: Battling through Williams' most feared track
There are plenty of reasons that the Singapore Grand Prix is a very special weekend. The most obvious is of course that it is a night race in the middle of a city, with a great atmosphere for the public at the track and the spectators at home. But there are also so many other very specific aspects to the event. All of us working there live on the European time zone, which means leaving the track around 3am and then going to bed at 5am.
2017 BMW 5 Series Sedan drops more camo as details emerge
It was only yesterday when we brought you a fresh set of spy images with the next installment of the BMW 5 Series Touring, and now we have a new batch showing the sedan. As it’s the case with the wagon, the sedan looks more like a facelift than a new generation, but that’s hardly surprising if we compare the flagship 7 Series to its predecessor.
Hennessey tunes the Ford Focus RS to 405 hp
Hennessey’s latest project has the Texas-based tuner stepping away from getting huge power out of burly V8s and instead giving the new Ford Focus RS’ 2.3-liter EcoBoost some attention. The firm’s HPE400 kit turns out the output to 405 horsepower (302 kilowatts) and 425 pound-feet (576.2 Newton-meters) of torque versus 350 hp (261 kW) and 350 lb-ft (474.5 Nm) in stock trim. The HPE400 kit’s biggest mechanical upgrade is a stainless steel mid-pipe with an electronic exhaust dump valve.
Felipe Massa: F1 needs stricter yellow flag rules
I said before the Hungarian Grand Prix that it would not be an ideal track for our car, but the Hungaroring was much harder than I expected. The first problem came in qualifying, and that then had a huge impact on how the rest of the weekend panned out. After the torrential downpour in the early part of qualifying, I had switched to intermediate tyres as the track was drying out. The timing was not wrong, because at the first two corners the grip was good.
Coluna do Massa: Como segurei Hamilton atrás de mim na China
Após os GPs, o piloto brasileiro vai trazer aos leitores do Motorsport.com - e de maneira exclusiva - suas opiniões e impressões sobre o que aconteceu dentro e fora da pista; na estreia, o brasileiro fala sobre a disputa na pista com tricampeão Há algo muito especial que dá ao GP da China uma identidade única para mim. Toda vez que venho para Xangai, antes de eu sequer pensar sobre a pista ou os compromissos do fim de semana, há uma tradição especial: conhecer os meus fãs.
Felipe Massa: Ready for a strong summer now
Monaco is a track I like. It is one of the toughest challenges of the season: regardless of the weather conditions. But when it rains, like it did on Sunday, then all of those difficulties are amplified. I remember coming out of the pits for the reconnaissance laps, and the grip conditions were really poor. I wasn't alone in feeling like that.
Felipe Massa: Looking for answers after difficult weekends
Although I'm happy with what I managed to do at the British Grand Prix, both myself and the Williams Martini Racing team were expecting a different Silverstone weekend. Sometimes there are important results that come quite easily, and then there are other times where you give the maximum effort without being rewarded with any points. That was the case for me last Sunday. I had better pace than my teammate, but I still struggled a lot.
Felipe Massa: Verstappen must now confirm his brilliance
Although in the end I managed to earn more points, which is useful for my championship, the weekend in Barcelona was much harder than I expected. Complicating matters was a qualifying session where things did not go as we had hoped at Williams Martini Racing. I had the okay to go out of the pitlane a few minutes before the end of the Q1 session to put in a quick lap, and I should have passed easily in to the next round.
Felipe Massa: Record-breaking Baku a weekend to remember
I think everyone in Formula 1 arrived in Baku with a great deal of curiosity, for it is always hard to know what to expect with a new track – especially when it is a street circuit. I must say that my first impression of the layout of Baku was not the best, though, because in Friday practice I had problems during braking: something that is not ideal on a tight street course. Added to that, the traction was not great, and I struggled to get heat in the tyres.
Massa column: Retiring more nerve-wracking than racing
I can confess now: I came to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza quite nervous. All I could think about was what I should say in Thursday's press conference to announce my retirement from Formula 1. Amazingly, I was actually more nervous than I was before the start of a race. But I think it was to be expected, because I had never previously announced my retirement from F1. So I didn't know how I would react, whether my emotions would take over, or what would be the reaction of all those present.
