The Ferrari F1 team has officially confirmed that Brazilian Felipe Massa will replace compatriot Rubens Barrichello alongside Michael Schumacher in 2006. Massa, who currently drives for Sauber, was a test driver for the scarlet squad back in 2003.

"I am very happy and proud to be racing with Ferrari in 2006," Massa stated. The 24-year-old, who is managed by Nicolas Todt, son of Ferrari principal Jean Todt, revealed that the Scuderia had an option on his services before he even entered F1.

"Maranello has believed in me since 2001, when I had yet to make my Formula 1 debut. Now, I am in my third season as a Sauber driver and I can also count on a year's experience as a Ferrari test driver, an experience which helped me to grow a great deal.

"I feel ready for this new challenge, which is the best opportunity of my career. I am aware of the responsibility it places on me and I cannot wait to be part of a team like Ferrari, alongside the best driver in the world, Michael Schumacher.”

The confirmation of Massa paves the way for Barrichello to unveil his own 2006 plans. The 33-year-old has signed a two-year deal with BAR, which should be announced in the next few days.
