14.3K:eathis:Rumours Nico Rosberg could be flirting with a switch to the Ferrari Formula One team are gaining strength this week.
A source triggered the speculation by telling the Cologne publication Express that the 26 year old is "thinking about" the famous Italian team.
Mercedes' Rosberg, however, has a contract for 2012, as does Fernando Alonso's Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa.
But Bild newspaper reports that Rosberg "has a clause that allows him an early termination under certain circumstances".
After India, Rosberg openly criticised his race strategy that appeared to have favoured team-mate Michael Schumacher.
At the same time, Express reports that Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo was dismayed with Massa's performance in India, featuring a crash with Lewis Hamilton and two near identical mistakes that damaged his suspension.
"In the week before India, Nico was in Maranello," another source is quoted as revealing. "Ferrari wants to have him."
When asked if he will be at Mercedes next year, Rosberg answered: "I don't want to say anything about it.
"We are having discussions about a long term co-operation."
Might those discussions be with Ferrari as well? Eddie Jordan, a former team boss and now British television pundit, thinks Massa should be worried.
"He needs to be careful because there are many talents out there," he is quoted by Austria's laola1.
"He does have a contract but in Formula One you can never be sure."

November 4th, 2011 10:32 AM #464Not impossible IMHO. Nico would be better off, FM would be devastated by this if ever considering the crash that he had and the survival/re-emergence.

November 4th, 2011 11:03 AM #465Let's face it. Felipe's run as a competitive driver seems well and truly over.
He was good enough, especially put alongside a disinterested Kimi Raikkonen, to almost capture an F1 title, but he hasn't been the same after the crash, and his recent spats with Hamilton have done nothing to cover up the basic lack of pace he has compared to his older and faster team-mate, Alonso.
Massa has struggled. He's made mistakes. He's gotten into petty spats with Ferrari (over the team-orders) and with Hamilton (his latest bone-headed move earned him a drive-through penalty). There's something not right with Felipe's head... and despite Ferrari being a team that is unwilling to let go of valued employees, now might be the time to find someone fitter, faster and more able to challenge for podiums.

Baka guilty pa rin ang Ferrari na sila ang dahilan kung bakit hindi naging WDC si FM....
Remember:
1. Tumirik ang kotse niya last 2/3(?) laps sa Istanbul, while he is leading the race
2. Palpak ang pitstop system/execution ng Ferrari sa Singapore, kung saan nahila ni FM ang gasoline hose (umilaw na ng berde kahit nakasaksak pa ang hose - walang lollipop man)....
Kung isa man lang dito ay okay ang Ferrari...si FM ang champion at hindi si LH....

November 4th, 2011 04:45 PM #467Yeah... but Lewis Hamilton also had his fair share of bad luck during the championship runs against Kimi and Felipe... and don't forget, Ferrari's creative use of team orders in both seasons that kept their lead driver ahead in terms of points.

November 4th, 2011 04:56 PM #468Ferrari is no longer the top team and is behind Mclaren in performance. It's only FA's driving that placed them in that position. They have only won 1 GP this year compared to 3 last year...

November 4th, 2011 05:03 PM #469Oo, RBR then Mclaren are the top teams, Ferrari is not yet close to those two teams IMO. Originally Posted by Monseratto
