NO

He will go if he does not deliver convincing, consistent ( 3? ) top ten points by Barcelona.
Really hope Perez shows maturity on and off drives-and that makes a Ferrari claim on top 5 results or tough rain drives, and not on “Massa sucks, so fill in”.
Barrichello or Kub, Fisc to fill in for half a season keeps options open and is explainable, what with the car and all.

Well they’re giving him a new chassis:

Massa to get new chassis for Malaysian Grand Prix

And sticking up for him:

Felipe has certainly been the target of criticism after the race in Albert Park. But the Brazilian driver is used to this situation and remembers well 2008 when after two races – Australia and Malaysia – he had a zero in the points column and many of the media were calling for him to be fired on the spot. Many of those commentators had to change their minds given that only a few exceptional circumstances – from the piston in Budapest to the pit stop in Singapore to cite the most striking examples – denied him the world championship.

@prisoner-monkeys – Oh no no no. We already had enough Massa train jokes last weekend, the last thing we need is the return of the Trulli train…and I even like Jarno. A lot.

Ferrari have gone for a radical change this year and lets be honest it hasnt worked. Both drivers are having a tough time getting to grips with the car. I feel its unrealistic to jump on Massa because he was slow during the first race and practising.

Why not wait and see, as a Ferrari fan myself its is dissapointing to see them in such bad shape but I am sure something will be done about the problems and things will get better.

As for Massa, I think it would be a big mistake to change to another driver mid season. Wait until the end of the year to see how it all turns out.

I honestly still think Domenicali will lose his job earlier than Massa.

For what it’s worth, I’m sure Nick taking the team to court over his contract has something to do with him being fired. Before then, I seem to recall them saying Bruno was only going to be in there temporarily.

ANYWAY, off topic, sorry. I honestly don’t see Ferrari letting go of Massa before the season is out, but I do agree with the likelyhood of Alguesuari. I’m pretty sure he no longer has connections with Red Bull, he’s got experience with recent cars and has no other commitments other than twiddling his thumbs and talking into BBC5 microphones. But that’s not taking into account what other drivers could be up on the market by the end of the season. I think we’re very much jumping the gun trying to figure this out after only one race. As we saw last season, a lot can change before November. Cars will be developed, drivers will falter and others will shine.

I meant kers issues!
