Ferraris sticking together
Felipe Massa says if he can help Kimi Raikkonen win the world title he will, but if he can't, he's going for the Brazilian GP win himself.
Following his victory in China and Lewis Hamilton's retirement from the race, Raikkonen is firmly back in the title race with Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
According to the maths, Raikkonen needs to score seven points more than Hamilton and three more than Alonso in order to be crowned this year's F1 world champion.
And unlike the McLaren drivers, who won't be helping each other, Raikkonen can at least bank on having his team-mate Massa help him out.
Happy to help
"If Kimi has a chance during the race to win the Championship, I think it's very good for the team and I would also be very happy to help the team," the Brazilian said.
However, Massa has made it clear that if there's no chance of Raikkonen winning the title, he will go for the victory at his home race.
"If maybe Lewis or Fernando are in the middle and we have no chance, I will try to win the race," he added.
