  | Massa warns Kimi to expect battle for no1 spot  Felipe Massa, winner of last Sunday's Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix, has warned Kimi Raikkonen to expect a battle for the number one driver's spot at Ferrari next season. Finn Raikkonen will replace seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher, who retired at the weekend after finishing second to Renault's Fernando Alonso in the drivers' championship. "Up until now I have helped my team by filling the holes, but things have changed," the 25-year-old Massa told the Gazzetta dello Sport's website on Tuesday. "Next year I don't think I will be obliged to let Kimi pass in front of me. He is a great driver, but he is joining a new team and it will be up to him to win them over. It will be a great battle, but a fair one." Massa's victory on Sunday in his home city of Sao Paolo - the first by a Brazilian in their own Grand Prix since the late Ayrton Senna in 1993 - was his second career triumph after winning the Turkey Grand Prix earlier this season. Raikkonen was runner-up in the drivers' championship in 2003 and 2005, but the 2006 season was a disappointing one for him and his McLaren Mercedes-Benz team. He finished fifth in the drivers' championship while McLaren were third in the constructors' championship. Source: http://f1.racing-live.com/f1/en/head...24190733.shtml

| Re: Massa warns Kimi to expect battle for no1 spot Sure, until Kimi has proven that he is better than his teammate, Massa will be the No 1 driver. Not for long though. I think Massa overestimates himself a little bit.
