The '''Ferrari F2007''' is a [[Formula One]] car, which [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] will race during the [[2007 Formula One season|2007 season]].

The car was unveiled to the public on January 14 2007.
==Chassis==

The new chassis has been significantly altered from the [[Ferrari 248 F1|248 F1]], the car Ferrari used during [[2006 Formula One season|2006]] to finish as runners-up to [[Renault F1|Renault]] in the constructors' championship. The wheelbase is 85mm longer, with the extra length added between the cockpit and front wheels, in order to maximise aerodynamic performance. <ref name="Autosport_20070118"> "Big, bold and clever", Ferrari F2007 launch article, [[Autosport magazine]], 18th January 2007</ref>

==Aerodynamics==

The launch model was shown with the front and rear wings from the 248 F1, but the car will have new aerodynamic features by the time of the first Grand Prix on March 18th 2007.<ref name="Autosport_20070118"/> These include various aerodynamic features Ferrari wish to keep secret from rival F1 teams.

==Mechanicals==

The gearbox itself, which is still mounted longitudinally, is fitted with an innovative quick-shift system (seven plus reverse). The [[suspension|suspension]] adopts a ''[[Suspension keel|zero-keel]]'' configuration, a first for Ferrari.<ref name="Autosport_20070118"/> The dropping of the ''[[Suspension keel|single-keel]]'' is most likely due to the departure of previous designer [[Rory Byrne]], whose previous designs (notably all his championship winning Ferrari and Benetton cars) all featured a ''single keel''.

==Livery==

Ferrari are the only team to receive tobacco sponsorship for the 2007 season. The team's principal sponsor is Philip Morris International, parent company of Marlboro cigarettes.<ref name="BBC_tobacco"> BBC News article "Ferrari extend tobacco contract" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/4212902.stm article]</ref> However, in order to circumvent the European tobacco advertising ban, the car's livery does not feature the brand name. A simple red and white "barcode" is used and, hence the advertising at European Grands Prix will be purely through association. In countries that allow tobacco sponsorship, Ferrari will use 'Marlboro' logos.

The car features significantly less white in its livery than previous years. The cars, driven by [[Felipe Massa]] and [[Kimi Räikkönen]], will race with the numbers 5 and 6 respectively as the team finished second in the 2006 manufacturers championship. Ordinarily, this would mean numbers 3 and 4 for the following season but owing to World Champion [[Fernando Alonso]] changing teams to [[McLaren]], Renault receive these numbers as Fernando Alonso has taken his number 1 (and thus, number 2) to his new team.

The '''Ferrari F2008''', internally codenamed 659, is the 54th single-seater race car produced by constructor [[Ferrari]] and is intended to compete in the 2008 Formula One championship. It suceeds the [[Ferrari F2007]] and will bring a host of changes to F1, amongst which the new SECU (Standard Electronic Control Unit), new gearbox (which according to rules must now be used for four consecutive events), better safety (such as higher side protection around the driver's helmet) and the eschewing of traction control.

'''Felipe Massa''' (born in São Paulo April 25, 1981) is a Brazilian [[Formula One]] racing driver, currently employed by the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] team and standing second in the 2008 Drivers World Championship. He is under contract to race for Ferrari until the end of the {{F1|2010}} season.<ref name="c2010">{{cite news| title =Massa to stay at Ferrari through 2010| publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/63353| date =2007-10-16| accessdate =2007-10-16}}</ref>

==Early career==
Massa, a Brazilian whose grandfather came to Brazil from the city of Cerignola, Italy, began [[Kart racing|karting]] when he was 8 years old, finishing fourth in his first season. He continued in national and international championships for 7 years, and in 1998 he moved into Formula Chevrolet, finishing the Brazilian championship in fifth. In the next season, he won 3 of the 10 races and took the championship. In 2000, he moved to Europe to compete in the Italian [[Formula Renault]] series, winning both it and the European Formula Renault championship in the same year. Whilst having the opportunity to move into [[Formula 3]], he opted instead for the [[Formula 3000]] Euro-Series, and was dominant, winning 6 of the 8 races to take the championship. He was offered an F1 test with the [[Sauber]] team, who promptly signed him for 2002. In the meantime he drove for [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeo]] in the [[European Touring Car Championship]] as a guest driver.

==Formula One career==
===Sauber (2002, 2004-2005)===

In his rookie year in Formula 1, Massa was paired with [[1999 Formula 3000 season|1999]] F3000 champion [[Nick Heidfeld]] at the Sauber team. Massa showed he was a competitive driver, but made several mistakes during his rookie season, including spinning off the track on several occasions. Massa scored 4 championship points in his first season, with a best result of 5th place at the [[2002 Spanish Grand Prix|Spanish Grand Prix]] at the [[Circuit de Catalunya]]. Massa suffered a one race suspension late in the season, forcing him to miss the [[2002 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]]. [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]], Sauber's former driver drove for Massa in that race. Although Massa returned to the driver's seat for the [[2002 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]], Sauber confirmed that Frentzen would partner Heidfeld in 2003, leaving Massa without a race seat. Instead, Massa spent a year with Sauber's engine suppliers, [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], gaining experience through testing for the championship-winning team.

After gaining more experience and demonstrating that his mistake rate had declined, Sauber re-signed Massa for the [[2004 Formula One season|2004 season]]. In 2004, Massa scored 12 of Sauber's 34 points, with his best result being a fourth place finish at the [[2004 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]]. His teammate, [[Giancarlo Fisichella]], scored the team's other 22 points. In [[2005 Formula One season|2005]], Massa remained with Sauber. Although he only scored 11 points, Massa outpaced his teammate [[Jacques Villeneuve]] through most of the season, and beat him in the drivers' championship. In [[2006 Formula One season|2006]], Massa re-joined Ferrari as a race-driver, alongside [[Michael Schumacher]].

===Ferrari (2006-Present)===

====2006====
Massa got a good start at Ferrari, qualifying second at the opening race in [[2006 Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain]], and coming from 21st position to 5th in Malaysia, beating teammate Michael Schumacher, who had started from 14th. However, in Bahrain, in both Saturday practice and the race, Massa seemed to resume his tendency to spin, narrowly missing eventual winner [[Fernando Alonso]] in the race. He kept up his reputation as being a bit on the wild side at the Australian GP when he crashed his Ferrari in qualifying, and then collided with [[Christian Klien]] and [[Nico Rosberg]] at the first corner of the race. However, Massa scored his first career podium at the [[Nürburgring]], finishing third, behind Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso. He also set the fastest lap at Barcelona in 2006. Massa achieved four more podium finishes in 2006, in the USA, France and Germany and took his first F1 [[pole position]] and his first F1 win at the [[2006 Turkish Grand Prix]], at the [[Istanbul Park]] circuit. His future position at Ferrari was secured when Michael Schumacher announced on 10 September 2006, that he would retire from F1 at the end of the 2006 season. On October 22, Massa won his home grand prix at the [[2006 Brazilian Grand Prix]], marking the first time a Brazilian driver had won at [[Autódromo José Carlos Pace|Interlagos]] since [[Ayrton Senna]] in 1993. The Brazilian eventually finished the season third with 80 points, behind world champion Fernando Alonso and Ferrari teammate [[Michael Schumacher]].

====2007====

Massa topped the time sheets on five occasions and set the fastest lap for four circuits during the 2007 pre-season testing.
However, his 2007 season began with problems. At the season opening [[2007 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]], he suffered a [[gearbox]] problem during qualifying and required an [[engine]] change. Massa started the race from 22nd position due to these problems and a 10-grid-slot penalty for the engine change. He employed a one pitstop strategy for the race and finished in sixth place. Massa's problems continued in Malaysia, where despite qualifying on pole position, the McLarens of [[Fernando Alonso]] and [[Lewis Hamilton]] overtook him at turn one. Massa ran off the track while attempting to overtake Hamilton, and lost two more places, dropping down to fifth place, where he finished the race. However, his season subsequently improved, as he won the Grands Prix of Bahrain and Spain, both from pole position, and finished third in Monaco.

The race stewards at the [[2007 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]] disqualified Massa for leaving the pit lane while the red light was showing. <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6738963.stm BBC Sport Canadian Grand Prix Report]</ref> After this disqualification, he won one more race at the [[2007 Turkish Grand Prix]], and finished on the podium at six more races, including a second place finish at his home grand prix at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Massa led much of the Brazilian Grand Prix, until yielding the lead to teammate [[Kimi Räikkönen]], thus securing Räikkönen's world championship title. Massa finished the 2007 season ranked fourth in the drivers' standing with 94 points.

In October 2007, Massa extended his contract with Ferrari to the end of 2010.<ref name="c2010"/>

====2008====
Massa endured a terrible first race weekend of his third year at [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]. The team, surprisingly, looked off the pace as Massa qualified fourth and his race was even less successful, spinning off at the first corner of the first lap, on lap 26 he collided with [[David Coulthard]] and eventually retired due to engine failure.

Things brightened up in [[2008 Malaysian Grand Prix|Malaysia]] as he qualified on pole, half a second clear of Räikkönen in P2, but the race itself didn't go as well. Massa led from pole in the first 16 laps but was jumped by Räikkönen in the pitstops. He was still in contention for the victory battle and was chasing Räikkönen until he spun off on lap 31 while in second and retired.

Massa went into [[Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain]] (where he won in [[2007 Formula One Season|2007]]) with no points. He dominated the weekend, but [[Robert Kubica]] beat him down to second in qualifying. In the start, Massa beat Kubica even before the first corner. Räikkönen soon got up to second but he could not do a repeat of Malaysia. Massa was quicker and easily won by 3 seconds to open up his account. <ref name="Bahrain">{{cite news| title =Felipe Massa of Ferrari wins in Bahrain Grand Prix| publisher =iht.com| url = http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/06/sports/prix.3-251752.php| date =2008-04-06| accessdate =2008-04-06}}</ref>

In [[2008 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]], Massa qualified third behind Räikkönen and [[Fernando Alonso]]. He passed Alonso at the start and got up to second behind Räikkönen. He stayed on his teammate's shadow for the whole race, but there was no way he could pass or get ahead in the stops. Massa had to settle for second.

Massa took pole position at the next round which was in [[2008 Turkish Grand Prix|Turkey]]. He led from the start, and maintained it during the round of pitsops, but was passed by [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s three-stopping [[McLaren]] at the start of the second stint. Hamilton pulled away, but he did not have the pace to take the lead that was needed to make his third stop and still come out ahead of Massa. Massa was a full 7 seconds up the road by then and took his second win of the season, and his third consecutive at the circuit.

At [[2008 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] Massa qualified on pole, to his surprise (he had mentioned prior to the weekend that he did not like the circuit) and built up a 15-second lead over Räikkönen in the rain, before that advantage was wiped out by the safety car. Soon Räikkönen was out of contention with a drive-through penalty. After the safety car went, Massa again started pulling away from Robert Kubica, but he ran up an escape road and lost the lead. Massa did jump Kubica in the pitstops but [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s one-stopping [[McLaren]] was by now way ahead of both of them. During the pitstops, Massa was fueled to the end of the race and was struggling, holding Kubica up. The track dried out and Massa had to pit for dries while Kubica took his second fuel stop at the same time and jumped him. Massa thus finished third behind Hamilton and Kubica.

In the [[2008 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]], with Massa having his season worst qualifying in 6th place. There was a safety car due to an incident involving [[Adrian Sutil]]. All drivers pitted, but Massa had to pit twice due to a delay with his fuel rig, which put him down in 17th. Massa then staged a brave fightback, charging back up to fifth place by the end of the race. With chief title rivals Hamilton and Räikkönen taking each other out after colling in the pitlane, this was not a bad race.

In the [[2008 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]], Massa qualified 2nd on the grid behind his teammate Räikkönen. Massa stayed some 3 to 4 seconds behind his teammate for the first half of the race. However, Räikkönen had a problem in his exhaust which allowed Massa to overtake him and win the race. This win gave Massa lead in the championship, 2 points ahead of Robert Kubica, 5 points ahead of Räikkönen and 10 points ahead of Hamilton. Massa was the first Brazilian to lead the championship since [[Ayrton Senna]] in the [[1993 Formula One season]].

In the [[2008 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]], things made a turn for the worse as Massa qualified way down in ninth. In the wet race, things were even worse and he finished 13th, dead last. This result was his lowest finish since [[2005 Formula One Season|2005]] when he finished 14th on two occasions for [[Sauber]].

Massa had a harrowing defeat at the [[2008 Hungarian Grand Prix]] where he started third. He overtook 2nd place starter [[Heikki Kovalainen]] and pole sitter Lewis Hamilton on the main straight of the starting grid. He had an enormous lock-up of both his front tires but nevertheless overtook both McLarens with ease. He led for the majority of the race and seemed to have victory in the bag but with 3 laps remaining, an engine failure in the Ferrari took place and he failed to finish.

Massa won the [[2008 European Grand Prix]] at Valencia, Spain. He started in pole position and took the chequered flag comfortably. However, he was released from his first pitstop at the same time [[Adrian Sutil]] was passing by and they almost touched, with Massa letting Sutil go ahead. After the race, the stewards decided to fine Massa €10,000, but his victory stood. He won his 10th Grand Prix in the [[2008 Belgian Grand Prix]], after Lewis Hamilton who crossed the line in front of Massa was hit with a 25 second penalty by the stewards after the race, for cutting the Bus Stop Chicane during his tussle with Räikkönen on Lap 42 of the race.

Massa took pole position for the [[2008 Singapore Grand Prix|Singapore Grand Prix]], beating Hamilton's best time by six tenths of a second during the last moments of the qualifying session. During the race, Massa, after being given the green light by his team, left his first fuel stop with the refuelling rig still attached to his car. This resulted in a lengthy delay caused by the difficulty of removing the hose. He was later then given a drive-through penalty for an unsafe release into the pitlane. His race ruined, he finished out of the points.

At the [[2008 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]] Massa struggled in qualifying, having to settle for 5th on the grid. Meanwhile, Hamilton, his rival for the Championship, took pole position.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7664875.stm Japanese Grand Prix] ''BBC Sport'' Retrieved 11 October 2008</ref> In the race he collided with Hamilton by running across the grass after overshooting a chicane, receiving a drive-through penalty and ultimately finishing 7th, after a controversial<ref>[http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/12102008/13/bourdais-penalised-racing-ferrari.html?page=2&order=date]</ref> penalty was issued to [[Sébastien Bourdais]], who was adjudged by the stewards to have caused a collision with Massa while exiting the pitlane.

At the [[2008 Shanghi Grand Prix|Shanghi Grand Prix]] the following week Massa and teammate Räikkönen, despite strong performances at Fuji, struggled for pace the entire weekend, a situation which Domenicali (Ferrari team principal) could not explain<ref>[http://www.f1.com/news/headlines/2008/10/8573.html</ref>. Disappointed with his performance in practice he managed to qualify 3rd after the behind other ferrari and main title rival Hamilton, but in front of Fernando Alonso. Following the pattern of the weekend Massa struggled to keep up with Hamilton, who raced away and maintained a comfortable margin of him. Whilst he eventually found some speed on the medium compound tires (his preferred option that weekend), he was unable to catch Hamilton. As Räikkönen yielded second place to keep Massa's title hopes alive Hamilton pulled his lead out to 7 in the Drivers championship, but Massa remained optimistic stating "For sure we are in a difficult position but we know many things can happen in one race"<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44366]</ref> and "Always when you play at home you usually play better"<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44366]</ref>, as the last two years he finished strongly at Interlago (a 1st in 2006 and a 2nd in 2007)

'''Felipe Massa''' (born in São Paulo April 25, 1981) is a Brazilian [[Formula One]] racing driver, currently employed by the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] team and standing second in the 2008 Drivers World Championship. He is under contract to race for Ferrari until the end of the {{F1|2010}} season.<ref name="c2010">{{cite news| title =Massa to stay at Ferrari through 2010| publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/63353| date =2007-10-16| accessdate =2007-10-16}}</ref>

==Early career==
Massa, a Brazilian whose grandfather came to Brazil from the city of Cerignola, Italy, began [[Kart racing|karting]] when he was 8 years old, finishing fourth in his first season. He continued in national and international championships for 7 years, and in 1998 he moved into Formula Chevrolet, finishing the Brazilian championship in fifth. In the next season, he won 3 of the 10 races and took the championship. In 2000, he moved to Europe to compete in the Italian [[Formula Renault]] series, winning both it and the European Formula Renault championship in the same year. Whilst having the opportunity to move into [[Formula 3]], he opted instead for the [[Formula 3000]] Euro-Series, and was dominant, winning 6 of the 8 races to take the championship. He was offered an F1 test with the [[Sauber]] team, who promptly signed him for 2002. In the meantime he drove for [[Alfa Romeo in motorsport|Alfa Romeo]] in the [[European Touring Car Championship]] as a guest driver.

==Formula One career==
===Sauber (2002, 2004-2005)===

In his rookie year in Formula 1, Massa was paired with [[1999 Formula 3000 season|1999]] F3000 champion [[Nick Heidfeld]] at the Sauber team. Massa showed he was a competitive driver, but made several mistakes during his rookie season, including spinning off the track on several occasions. Massa scored 4 championship points in his first season, with a best result of 5th place at the [[2002 Spanish Grand Prix|Spanish Grand Prix]] at the [[Circuit de Catalunya]]. Massa suffered a one race suspension late in the season, forcing him to miss the [[2002 United States Grand Prix|United States Grand Prix]]. [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]], Sauber's former driver drove for Massa in that race. Although Massa returned to the driver's seat for the [[2002 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]], Sauber confirmed that Frentzen would partner Heidfeld in 2003, leaving Massa without a race seat. Instead, Massa spent a year with Sauber's engine suppliers, [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], gaining experience through testing for the championship-winning team.

After gaining more experience and demonstrating that his mistake rate had declined, Sauber re-signed Massa for the [[2004 Formula One season|2004 season]]. In 2004, Massa scored 12 of Sauber's 34 points, with his best result being a fourth place finish at the [[2004 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]]. His teammate, [[Giancarlo Fisichella]], scored the team's other 22 points. In [[2005 Formula One season|2005]], Massa remained with Sauber. Although he only scored 11 points, Massa outpaced his teammate [[Jacques Villeneuve]] through most of the season, and beat him in the drivers' championship. In [[2006 Formula One season|2006]], Massa re-joined Ferrari as a race-driver, alongside [[Michael Schumacher]].

===Ferrari (2006-Present)===

====2006====
Massa got a good start at Ferrari, qualifying second at the opening race in [[2006 Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain]], and coming from 21st position to 5th in Malaysia, beating teammate Michael Schumacher, who had started from 14th. However, in Bahrain, in both Saturday practice and the race, Massa seemed to resume his tendency to spin, narrowly missing eventual winner [[Fernando Alonso]] in the race. He kept up his reputation as being a bit on the wild side at the Australian GP when he crashed his Ferrari in qualifying, and then collided with [[Christian Klien]] and [[Nico Rosberg]] at the first corner of the race. However, Massa scored his first career podium at the [[Nürburgring]], finishing third, behind Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso. He also set the fastest lap at Barcelona in 2006. Massa achieved four more podium finishes in 2006, in the USA, France and Germany and took his first F1 [[pole position]] and his first F1 win at the [[2006 Turkish Grand Prix]], at the [[Istanbul Park]] circuit. His future position at Ferrari was secured when Michael Schumacher announced on 10 September 2006, that he would retire from F1 at the end of the 2006 season. On October 22, Massa won his home grand prix at the [[2006 Brazilian Grand Prix]], marking the first time a Brazilian driver had won at [[Autódromo José Carlos Pace|Interlagos]] since [[Ayrton Senna]] in 1993. The Brazilian eventually finished the season third with 80 points, behind world champion Fernando Alonso and Ferrari teammate [[Michael Schumacher]].

====2007====

Massa topped the time sheets on five occasions and set the fastest lap for four circuits during the 2007 pre-season testing.
However, his 2007 season began with problems. At the season opening [[2007 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]], he suffered a [[gearbox]] problem during qualifying and required an [[engine]] change. Massa started the race from 22nd position due to these problems and a 10-grid-slot penalty for the engine change. He employed a one pitstop strategy for the race and finished in sixth place. Massa's problems continued in Malaysia, where despite qualifying on pole position, the McLarens of [[Fernando Alonso]] and [[Lewis Hamilton]] overtook him at turn one. Massa ran off the track while attempting to overtake Hamilton, and lost two more places, dropping down to fifth place, where he finished the race. However, his season subsequently improved, as he won the Grands Prix of Bahrain and Spain, both from pole position, and finished third in Monaco.

The race stewards at the [[2007 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]] disqualified Massa for leaving the pit lane while the red light was showing. <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6738963.stm BBC Sport Canadian Grand Prix Report]</ref> After this disqualification, he won one more race at the [[2007 Turkish Grand Prix]], and finished on the podium at six more races, including a second place finish at his home grand prix at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Massa led much of the Brazilian Grand Prix, until yielding the lead to teammate [[Kimi Räikkönen]], thus securing Räikkönen's world championship title. Massa finished the 2007 season ranked fourth in the drivers' standing with 94 points.

In October 2007, Massa extended his contract with Ferrari to the end of 2010.<ref name="c2010"/>

====2008====
Massa endured a terrible first race weekend of his third year at [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]. The team, surprisingly, looked off the pace as Massa qualified fourth and his race was even less successful, spinning off at the first corner of the first lap, on lap 26 he collided with [[David Coulthard]] and eventually retired due to engine failure.

Things brightened up in [[2008 Malaysian Grand Prix|Malaysia]] as he qualified on pole, half a second clear of Räikkönen in P2, but the race itself didn't go as well. Massa led from pole in the first 16 laps but was jumped by Räikkönen in the pitstops. He was still in contention for the victory battle and was chasing Räikkönen until he spun off on lap 31 while in second and retired.

Massa went into [[Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain]] (where he won in [[2007 Formula One Season|2007]]) with no points. He dominated the weekend, but [[Robert Kubica]] beat him down to second in qualifying. In the start, Massa beat Kubica even before the first corner. Räikkönen soon got up to second but he could not do a repeat of Malaysia. Massa was quicker and easily won by 3 seconds to open up his account. <ref name="Bahrain">{{cite news| title =Felipe Massa of Ferrari wins in Bahrain Grand Prix| publisher =iht.com| url = http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/06/sports/prix.3-251752.php| date =2008-04-06| accessdate =2008-04-06}}</ref>

In [[2008 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]], Massa qualified third behind Räikkönen and [[Fernando Alonso]]. He passed Alonso at the start and got up to second behind Räikkönen. He stayed on his teammate's shadow for the whole race, but there was no way he could pass or get ahead in the stops. Massa had to settle for second.

Massa took pole position at the next round which was in [[2008 Turkish Grand Prix|Turkey]]. He led from the start, and maintained it during the round of pitsops, but was passed by [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s three-stopping [[McLaren]] at the start of the second stint. Hamilton pulled away, but he did not have the pace to take the lead that was needed to make his third stop and still come out ahead of Massa. Massa was a full 7 seconds up the road by then and took his second win of the season, and his third consecutive at the circuit.

At [[2008 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] Massa qualified on pole, to his surprise (he had mentioned prior to the weekend that he did not like the circuit) and built up a 15-second lead over Räikkönen in the rain, before that advantage was wiped out by the safety car. Soon Räikkönen was out of contention with a drive-through penalty. After the safety car went, Massa again started pulling away from Robert Kubica, but he ran up an escape road and lost the lead. Massa did jump Kubica in the pitstops but [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s one-stopping [[McLaren]] was by now way ahead of both of them. During the pitstops, Massa was fueled to the end of the race and was struggling, holding Kubica up. The track dried out and Massa had to pit for dries while Kubica took his second fuel stop at the same time and jumped him. Massa thus finished third behind Hamilton and Kubica.

In the [[2008 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]], with Massa having his season worst qualifying in 6th place. There was a safety car due to an incident involving [[Adrian Sutil]]. All drivers pitted, but Massa had to pit twice due to a delay with his fuel rig, which put him down in 17th. Massa then staged a brave fightback, charging back up to fifth place by the end of the race. With chief title rivals Hamilton and Räikkönen taking each other out after colling in the pitlane, this was not a bad race.

In the [[2008 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]], Massa qualified 2nd on the grid behind his teammate Räikkönen. Massa stayed some 3 to 4 seconds behind his teammate for the first half of the race. However, Räikkönen had a problem in his exhaust which allowed Massa to overtake him and win the race. This win gave Massa lead in the championship, 2 points ahead of Robert Kubica, 5 points ahead of Räikkönen and 10 points ahead of Hamilton. Massa was the first Brazilian to lead the championship since [[Ayrton Senna]] in the [[1993 Formula One season]].

In the [[2008 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]], things made a turn for the worse as Massa qualified way down in ninth. In the wet race, things were even worse and he finished 13th, dead last. This result was his lowest finish since [[2005 Formula One Season|2005]] when he finished 14th on two occasions for [[Sauber]].

Massa had a harrowing defeat at the [[2008 Hungarian Grand Prix]] where he started third. He overtook 2nd place starter [[Heikki Kovalainen]] and pole sitter Lewis Hamilton on the main straight of the starting grid. He had an enormous lock-up of both his front tires but nevertheless overtook both McLarens with ease. He led for the majority of the race and seemed to have victory in the bag but with 3 laps remaining, an engine failure in the Ferrari took place and he failed to finish.

Massa won the [[2008 European Grand Prix]] at Valencia, Spain. He started in pole position and took the chequered flag comfortably. However, he was released from his first pitstop at the same time [[Adrian Sutil]] was passing by and they almost touched, with Massa letting Sutil go ahead. After the race, the stewards decided to fine Massa €10,000, but his victory stood. He won his 10th Grand Prix in the [[2008 Belgian Grand Prix]], after Lewis Hamilton who crossed the line in front of Massa was hit with a 25 second penalty by the stewards after the race, for cutting the Bus Stop Chicane during his tussle with Räikkönen on Lap 42 of the race.

Massa took pole position for the [[2008 Singapore Grand Prix|Singapore Grand Prix]], beating Hamilton's best time by six tenths of a second during the last moments of the qualifying session. During the race, Massa, after being given the green light by his team, left his first fuel stop with the refuelling rig still attached to his car. This resulted in a lengthy delay caused by the difficulty of removing the hose. He was later then given a drive-through penalty for an unsafe release into the pitlane. His race ruined, he finished out of the points.

At the [[2008 Japanese Grand Prix|Japanese Grand Prix]] Massa struggled in qualifying, having to settle for 5th on the grid. Meanwhile, Hamilton, his rival for the Championship, took pole position.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7664875.stm Japanese Grand Prix] ''BBC Sport'' Retrieved 11 October 2008</ref> In the race he collided with Hamilton by running across the grass after overshooting a chicane, receiving a drive-through penalty and ultimately finishing 7th, after a controversial<ref>[http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/12102008/13/bourdais-penalised-racing-ferrari.html?page=2&order=date]</ref> penalty was issued to [[Sébastien Bourdais]], who was adjudged by the stewards to have caused a collision with Massa while exiting the pitlane.

At the [[2008 Shanghi Grand Prix|Shanghi Grand Prix]] the following week Massa and teammate Räikkönen, despite strong performances at Fuji, struggled for pace the entire weekend, a situation which Domenicali (Ferrari team principal) could not explain<ref>[http://www.f1.com/news/headlines/2008/10/8573.html</ref>. Disappointed with his performance in practice he managed to qualify 3rd after the behind other ferrari and main title rival Hamilton, but in front of Fernando Alonso. Following the pattern of the weekend Massa struggled to keep up with Hamilton, who raced away and maintained a comfortable margin of him. Whilst he eventually found some speed on the medium compound tires (his preferred option that weekend), he was unable to catch Hamilton. As Räikkönen yielded second place to keep Massa's title hopes alive Hamilton pulled his lead out to 7 in the Drivers championship, but Massa remained optimistic stating "For sure we are in a difficult position but we know many things can happen in one race"<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44366]</ref> and "Always when you play at home you usually play better"<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44366]</ref>, as the last two years he finished strongly at Interlago (a 1st in 2006 and a 2nd in 2007)
