With better form and a new contract in his pocket, Felipe Massa has revealed he is now “relieved” and much happier.<\/p>\n

\"R12Sin-F1-10\"F1’s media has spent much of 2012 speculating about the Brazilian’s likely successor, as the 31-year-old struggled massively with flagging form.<\/p>\n

Now, his speed back on track and all signed up for another season, Massa admitted to Spain’s AS newspaper: “Yes, I’m relieved.<\/p>\n

“Calm, happy, yes.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that the second half of the season has been very different for me from the first, and now I think the continuation (of his Ferrari career) was fair.”<\/p>\n

“Now I am 100 per cent happy, everything has changed and I cannot explain why,” added Massa.<\/p>\n
