Felipe Massa going for another F1 win at Monza Sunday

Felipe Massa wants to be the man in Ferrari. The only problem is, he's Brazilian.

Yes, it seems Ferrari doesn't want any Brazilian drivers representing them. Rubens Barrichello, who now competes for Honda, was once a Brazilian driver for Ferrari, playing second fiddle to his more popular teammate Michael Schumacher.

In this 2007 F1 season, Ferrari is in the exact same position, they have another Brazilian playing second fiddle to a more marketable driver. In this case, it's Felipe Massa backing up who's suppose to be Ferrari's ace driver, Kimi Raikkonen.

However, with the way this season has been, and also with how bad Kimi Raikkonen raced so far, the Brazilian backup is leading the more marketable superstar and after Felipe Massa relived the first grand prix win of his career last season by winning in Istanbul again, it definitely looks like Felipe will be going all out to win it all now.

As of press time, Felipe Massa sits third behind the two McLaren drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Massa has 69 points while Kimi sits fourth with 68.

Felipe Massa believes that he still has a chance to steal the title away from the two McLaren drivers. With five more races to go and with the 2007 F1 season culminating in his home country Brazil for the final leg, a storybook ending is definitely on Felipe's side now.

The F1 season resumes thus Sunday in Monza, Italy for the 2007 Italian Grand Prix. Felipe Massa is looking good to win back-to-back races after his triumphant return to Istanbul. Of course, he has to outrun the two-headed monster from McLaren first.
