I don&#8217;t see what more I could have dreamed of. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Felipe Massa, despite his youth, has achieved a great number of pole positions. He has been solid and loyal, and it&#8217;s not by chance that I personally decided to renew his contract until 2010, \u00bb he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen is unique, loyal, and very dedicated to his work. I will offer him a bonus, not money which is already agreed upon in his contract, but a gift, \u00bb concluded the Ferrari boss.<\/p>\n<p>The trust Ferrari places in Massa was strengthened in Brazil, after he took second place, which could ensure R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen the drivers&#8217; title.
