Massa's Ferrari career in his own words
Title heartache; team orders controversy; life-threatening injury; lacklustre form: Felipe Massa has experienced it all at Ferrari. On the eve of his final grand prix with the Scuderia, he talks to JONATHAN NOBLE about his 'incredible' career
When Felipe Massa pulls on a set of Ferrari overalls for (perhaps) the last time in his career at Interlagos on Sunday, he does so with absolutely no regrets about the path that life at Maranello took him.
He may not have achieved his ultimate ambition of a world championship for more than just those 30 seconds in Brazil five years ago - and his recent form may have been a shadow of the man who took the fight so strongly to team-mates Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen - but there is little he feels he should or could have done differently.
