London, July 21(ANI): Ferrari Formula One team president Luca di Montezemolo has brushed aside rumours that Felipe Massa will be replaced by the team for the 2012 season.
Drivers such as Red Bull's Mark Webber have been linked to Ferrari's second seat as Massa continues to be overshadowed by teammate Fernando Alonso.
"Massa and Alonso always bring something more. In the seventies, when I was a young sporting director, people would say that car and driver counted 50-50," the Sun quoted Di Montezemolo, as saying.
"Nowadays the car counts for more, but it's in that 30 per cent that the driver can make a difference. Alonso is super, Massa is coming back. I think the drivers are not a problem. This is the time for gossip but next year's drivers will remain Alonso and Massa," he added.
Massa has not won a race since the 2008 season and is yet to out-qualify Alonso this year. (ANI)
