In 2010 Felipe Massa will compete for Ferrari for the 5th straight season and will be extremely eager to get back racing. After spending 3 seasons with the Sauber F1 team, Massa moved to Ferrari in 2006 and has gradually scored more points every season. In 2008 Massa was pipped to the F1 Championship by one point by McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton, but should look back on a heartbreaking season as a success as the 28 year old won 6 races. The Brazilian’s F1 season was cut short last year after being struck on the helmet by a suspension spring in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, and since July of last year Massa has been working his way back to fitness in preparation for 2010.
