Ferrari confirm driver equality

[davewilson]

Ferrari Sporting Director Stefano Domenicali has confirmed that the team will impose a conditional policy of driver equality next season.

Unlike in the past with Michael Schumacher, the beginning of next year will give rise to an unique Ferrari situation where the higher paid driver is not the incumbent at the team.

Felipe Massa has received support from within the Maranello based team after insisting that he will not be new team-mate Kimi Raikkonen's 'number two'. 


Domenicali is quoted as saying by Focus Online: "Both drivers will receive the same material and the same support from us, at least at the beginning of the season."

Domenicali, meanwhile, reportedly promised that Raikkonen will be seen 'smiling more often' than he did during five years with a stoic image at McLaren.

I think things might change over the next twelve months
