Ferrari pushing for Bianchi move, says his manager

According to the manager of Jules Bianchi, Ferrari is pushing for the driver to leave Marussia and join a better team.

“Despite the fact that he is with a small team, it would be fair to say that Jules has already made a name for himself in formula one. Others have rarely managed to achieve this. Ferrari is closely watching the results as they want him to pursue his career in one of the teams in the middle group, before joining the Scudery one day,” said Bianchi’s manager Nicolas Todt

Reports say that Swiss team Sauber could field Bianchi along with Sergey Sirotkin next year. Sauber is also linked with Felipe Massa, whose contract with Ferrari runs out this season. Massa is also managed by Nicolas who is the son of FIA president Jean Todt.

Ferrari, however, refused to comment clearly on the future of Massa.

“In the next few races, we will try to improve the car to give Fernando the conditions to fight for the title, and also so that Felipe can deliver performances to help the team. These are our goals,he is quoted by Brazil’s Globo. The rest does not matter now,” said team boss Stefano Demenicali.
