Massa hopes rain reports wrong

(GMM) Championship challenger Felipe Massa on Thursday said he would prefer if the Italian grand prix at Monza this weekend was not disturbed by wet weather.

Local reports cite the possibility of rain throughout the three days of official action at the fabled Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.

Ferrari driver Massa said: "There is that possibility. This season we have already had to deal with rain, we'll see. I'd prefer if it didn't."
