After McLaren and Mercedes announced their driver lineups for next year, Brazilian Massa was asked about the latest speculation that he is heading for a new Ferrari contract.

It follows Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo telling Autosprint that he will make the final decision in "two or three days".

"But I have to say that Felipe has driven very well lately," he said.

Massa is confident.

"There is a good chance that I will stay at Ferrari," he told Italy's Sky Sport 24.

"Are my chances good?  I certainly think so.  I am rather confident in that respect.

"I think a decision will be reached within a short matter of time," added Massa.
