Massa, Kubica, wait in ‘silly-season’ queue
While speculation about Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen traditionally hogs the headlines, a number of other racers are also unsure about their future.
Schumacher's young teammate Felipe Massa is patiently waiting for the silly season's smoke to clear, while he has cropped up in gossip about a Red Bull move.
''All I can say is that I will drive in formula one in 2007,'' the Brazilian confidently exclaimed.
''Where, it is too early, but hopefully I have a chance to stay at Ferrari.''
BMW-Sauber's test driver Robert Kubica, meanwhile, again impressed with his 'Friday' performance in Germany, but he says he is not guaranteed a racing ride at the team next year.
''I have learned to keep my feet on the ground and to not have any expectations,'' the Polish youngster was quoted as saying by 'St. Galler Tagblatt'.
Kubica said: ''If it happens, great, if not, it means I did not do a good enough job and I will have to accept it.''
Meanwhile, observers noticed F1's world champion of 1998 and 1999 – Mika Hakkinen – as a guest of the McLaren team at the Hockenheimring on Friday.
''I think they can win this weekend,'' said the Finn, who today races in the German 'DTM'.
