According to a rumour in the Italian media, Nico Hulkenberg is a candidate to replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari in 2011.<\/p>\n
La Stampa newspaper said the rumour came from “a voice” within the famous Maranello based team, where Brazilian Massa – who already has an ongoing contract with Ferrari – struggled alongside Fernando Alonso this season.<\/p>\n
German Hulkenberg, 23, has not been retained by Williams for 2011, and his manager Willi Weber has strong links within Ferrari due to his former charge Michael Schumacher’s decade-long tenure there.<\/p>\n
But another voice at Ferrari insisted: “Felipe is untouchable.”<\/p>\n
La Stampa acknowledged that the rumour might have been generated by Weber to keep Hulkenberg’s name circulating while he is on the market.<\/p>\n
Italy’s Autosprint reported the same rumour linking Hulkenberg with Ferrari.<\/p>\n
