Massa had 'inside info' in Hungary - report
Felipe Massa - Ferrari F2007 - Practice 2007 Hungarian GP - 03/08/2007
Aug.24 (GMM) Yet another controversy could be set to arrive in the formula one paddock.
According to the specialist magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Ferrari team members might be enjoying inside information from F1's governing body, the FIA.
Two journalists have told the publication that Felipe Massa knew Fernando Alonso and McLaren would be punished by the stewards in Budapest three weeks ago, before the officials actually handed down their verdict late on Saturday night.
About an hour before the stewards published the verdict, Massa told the unnamed reporters in a restaurant: "Alonso will lose five places and his team will score no points."
The German newspaper Bild wonders: "Where did Massa get his information? Is there a mole?"
Meanwhile, Massa confirmed to reporters on Thursday that he does not have a problem with Spaniard Alonso despite their recent post-race swearing match in Germany.
They both played in the F1 drivers' football team on Wednesday, and Massa said afterwards: "Sometimes we might have a problem in the race but that's the way it works.
"Everybody saw the problem I had, but it doesn't mean that I don't talk to him any more."
