 Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has left the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, saying he did not like the way the body was run.
"I agree with the good things the GPDA does and I was part of it, but I left because I didn't always like the way it was run," Massa was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport.
The news about Massa comes just days after Jarno Trulli criticised drivers who refuse to join the GPDA for being uncaring about safety.
"I don't want to oblige anybody but everyone who is driving an F1 car should be responsible enough to understand what is happening and why GPDA was born and what it is doing," said Trulli.
"And apparently, there are some who don't really care and this is what is upsetting me because they are ignoring the situation. They get in the car and benefit from the work of everybody else and from the money that everybody else has put in."
Massa joins teammate Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Force India's Adrian Sutil on the list of drivers who are not members of the GPDA.
