Felipe Massa
Latin spirit
- Born: 25/4/81
- Nationality: Brazilian
- Team: Ferrari
- First GP: Australia 2002
- Wins: 8
- 2007 position: 4th
- Previous teams: Sauber
Felipe Massa continues to defy expectations and is emerging as a truly world-class contender this year.
Always quick, the Brazilian has been let down in the past by inconsistency and a tendency to make mistakes.
But while this year he has won where he has been traditionally strong - such as in Bahrain - he has also been quick on bogey tracks such as Monaco.
He leads the championship heading into the British Grand Prix as a result, and looks like he will take some shifting.
