Massa reveals he is leaving Ferrari at the end of 2013 F1 season :
Felipe Massa has revealed that he will not be at Ferrari next season, with his departure leaving the way open for Kimi Raikkonen to rejoin the team. Ferrari has spent the last few days finalising its 2014 driver line-up, and it was widely expected that Massa would not be retained. Ahead of a scheduled appearance at Maranello on Wednesday, Massa duly confirmed that he was looking for fresh opportunities in Formula 1. In a message that was posted on his Twitter feed, Massa said: "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari. "I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together. Thank you also to my wife and all of my family, to my fans and all my sponsors. From each one of you I have always received a great support!
"Right now I want to push as hard as possible with Ferrari for the remaining seven races. For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship, which remains my greatest objective."


Thank You for All the Years that you drove for Ferrari Felipe !!!!!!!!!!!

Alonso will accept Ferrari's 2014 decision as Raikkonen talk grows
Fernando Alonso insists that whoever Ferrari decides to pick as his team-mate for the 2014 Formula 1 season will be positive for him.
Amid growing speculation that Kimi Raikkonen is closing on a return to Maranello, Alonso has made it clear that he has no qualms about who he is paired with.Alonso has been a staunch supporter of current team-mate Felipe Massa, and was eager for him to remain, but he is confident that Ferrari will ultimately make the right call on its 2014 line-up. Writing in response to fans' questions about his future team-mate, Alonso said: "It's not possible for me to talk of any name for next year because I have a lot of respect for Felipe. "We've been working very hard and close for four years to give Ferrari the maximum. "Whatever decision the team will take will be good for me, and we will keep working to give Ferrari the best results possible." Ferrari is expected to announce its driver plans imminently, with the team having deliberately waited until after its home race in Italy to finalise the matter.
Lotus is still pushing to convince Raikkonen to stay, and it is understood that the outfit has had no indication so far that those efforts have failed. A Ferrari decision to sign Raikkonen would be a change of policy at the team, which has based most of its efforts around Alonso and his title ambitions in recent years. There has been talk that Alonso is unhappy about the mooted arrival of Raikkonen because of the potential compromises it would have on his own championship hopes. However, despite widespread rumours that he was considering options elsewhere, Alonso insisted that Ferrari was his focus. "It's a way of living," he said. "My team, my second family, my friends."

The result of the Italian race :

Vettel takes commanding Monza win :
Sebastian Vettel reeled off another dominant Formula 1 victory in the Italian Grand Prix, as Fernando Alonso won a battle for second place. With the lead Red Bull out of reach from the start, the best Ferrari could hope for was 'best of the rest' honours, which Alonso secured after a long tussle with Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber. Both Red Bulls were ordered to short-shift to protect potential gearbox issues in the closing stages, but while that stymied Webber's pursuit of Alonso, Vettel had enough in hand to back off and still comfortably triumph. In further good news for Vettel, erstwhile title threats Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen were left squabbling (spectacularly) over minor points after early incidents. Vettel was threatened by both Webber and the second Ferrari of Felipe Massa into a crowded first corner, but kept himself ahead and swiftly pulled away. A beautifully judged move around the outside into the Roggia chicane on lap three took Alonso past Webber's Red Bull for third, as they went wheel to wheel right through the complex, making only slight contact on the exit. Massa then made life very easy for Alonso when he came to overtake for second, and the Spaniard was able to stabilise Vettel's lead at six seconds. But when Alonso tried a slightly divergent strategy by running four laps longer before his sole pitstop, Vettel's lead increased to over 10s. Alonso came back out only just ahead of Webber, who had jumped Massa in the stops, and had several close calls in the closing laps as the Red Bull attacked, before claiming second. Nico Hulkenberg lived up to his qualifying performance by settling his Sauber into fifth place. He had Nico Rosberg's Mercedes in often very close company all afternoon, but kept his compatriot at bay and finished just a few seconds behind Alonso, Webber and Massa after an outstanding weekend. Raikkonen had to pit for a new front wing after bumping into Sergio Perez at the start, while an early slow puncture put Hamilton onto a two-stop strategy, hampered further by radio problems. The recovering Lotus and Mercedes then ended up in the same place on track late on having an epic battle both with each other and the midfield traffic. Daniel Ricciardo stayed just far enough ahead of late chargers Romain Grosjean and Hamilton to take seventh, while Jenson Button just denied Raikkonen a point. Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutierrez chased them home.Grosjean reached the end despite Paul di Resta's Force India slamming into his Lotus at the Roggia on lap one, an impact that ended the Scot's race. Jean-Eric Vergne was another early retirement, having battled in the top 10 before smoke erupted from the right rear of his Toro Rosso .

Note - Sutil qualified 14th but was penalised three grid spots for impeding Lewis Hamilton during Q2.

Massa has changed the engine, had an oil leak.
Will not be punished because it has the same engine with the that raced in Belgium.
