Ferrari has announced that it has extended its contract with Felipe Massa, who will now drive for the team until the end of the 2012 season.

The Brazilian has been with the Maranello outfit since 2001. To date, he has competed in 69 Grands Prix for the team: he has taken eleven wins, 30 podiums, 51 points finishes, fifteen pole positions and twelve fastest race laps, scoring a total of 360 championship points.

"I am happy to be given the opportunity to drive for Ferrari for a further two seasons," said Massa. "Throughout my entire Formula 1 career, I have always raced with an engine made in Maranello and it is a matter of pride for me to be able to continue working with a team that I regard as a second family."

"Felipe has been part of Ferrari for almost a decade and together with us, he has grown as a driver and as a man, going through some very difficult times as well as giving us moments of great happiness," added Stefano Domenicali. "We wanted to show proof of stability for the future, believing in the worth of a driver pairing that is without equal in terms of talent, speed and its ability to work together for the good of the team."
