Massa reveals he is leaving Ferrari at the end of 2013 F1 season :
Felipe Massa has revealed that he will not be at Ferrari next season, with his departure leaving the way open for Kimi Raikkonen to rejoin the team. Ferrari has spent the last few days finalising its 2014 driver line-up, and it was widely expected that Massa would not be retained. Ahead of a scheduled appearance at Maranello on Wednesday, Massa duly confirmed that he was looking for fresh opportunities in Formula 1. In a message that was posted on his Twitter feed, Massa said: "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari. "I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together. Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support!
"Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining seven races. For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship, which remains my greatest objective."


Thank You for All the Years that you drove for Ferrari Felipe !!!!!!!!!!!

Alonso will accept Ferrari's 2014 decision as Raikkonen talk grows
Fernando Alonso insists that whoever Ferrari decides to pick as his team-mate for the 2014 Formula 1 season will be positive for him.
Amid growing speculation that Kimi Raikkonen is closing on a return to Maranello, Alonso has made it clear that he has no qualms about who he is paired with.Alonso has been a staunch supporter of current team-mate Felipe Massa, and was eager for him to remain, but he is confident that Ferrari will ultimately make the right call on its 2014 line-up. Writing in response to fans' questions about his future team-mate, Alonso said: "It's not possible for me to talk of any name for next year because I have a lot of respect for Felipe. "We've been working very hard and close for four years to give Ferrari the maximum. "Whatever decision the team will take will be good for me, and we will keep working to give Ferrari the best results possible." Ferrari is expected to announce its driver plans imminently, with the team having deliberately waited until after its home race in Italy to finalise the matter.
Lotus is still pushing to convince Raikkonen to stay, and it is understood that the outfit has had no indication so far that those efforts have failed. A Ferrari decision to sign Raikkonen would be a change of policy at the team, which has based most of its efforts around Alonso and his title ambitions in recent years. There has been talk that Alonso is unhappy about the mooted arrival of Raikkonen because of the potential compromises it would have on his own championship hopes. However, despite widespread rumours that he was considering options elsewhere, Alonso insisted that Ferrari was his focus. "It's a way of living," he said. "My team, my second family, my friends."

Kind Regards
Shaky

His name is MICHAEL SCHUMACHER"
