At the Italian Grand Prix earlier this month Massa finished the race on the podium in third place taking his podium for the Grove based outfit.

Speaking in an interview for Crash.net Massa stated:
'I don't know how long I will stay here, so I think maybe it can be my last team, definitely...I think it will be my last team.'
When asked about his Formula One future, Massa stated:
'I don't know when it will happen - the time to stop - but for sure I am a happy man and I want to be racing as long as I am at the top level.'
Massa is currently in 9th place in the Drivers' championship on 65 points 57 points behind team mate Valtteri Bottas.
