Rumours were swirling in the Monza paddock on Sunday, and the buzzword was ‘Wednesday’.<\/p>\n
The big talking point was whether Kimi Raikkonen in fact agreed a 2014 deal to rejoin Ferrari next year on the Wednesday of last week, or whether the Italian team will announce it formally on the coming Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Perhaps both are true.\u00a0 Perhaps neither.<\/p>\n
Felipe Massa will be hoping the latter is true, but he admitted on Sunday that a cloud does hang over his formula one future.<\/p>\n
“We’re still discussing it,” he said of his talks with Ferrari about next year.<\/p>\n
“This race was important, not only for the contract with Ferrari but to show other teams what I’m able to do,” Massa, who finished fourth on Sunday, told the BBC.<\/p>\n
Another driver hoping Ferrari’s 2014 deliberations involve him is Nico Hulkenberg, who had a sensational weekend at Monza for struggling Ferrari-powered Sauber — qualifying third and finishing fifth.<\/p>\n
On the possibility of joining Ferrari, the German said: “It’s definitely something I wouldn’t deny which I’m definitely interested in — it’s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n
“There has been lots of talk but at some point the talking has to stop and the decisions will be made,” added Hulkenberg.<\/p>\n
