Todt Snr, Jnr and Massa to Toyota?
While the Brazilian driver denied visiting the motor home of the Japanese team in Belgium, and any knowledge of his manager's visit, it is suggested that Nicolas Todt's mission may have been wider than simply lining up a new drive for his Brazilian charge.
Citing Italian sources, the Cologne publication Express claims that Massa's manager may have been operating on behalf of his father; Ferrari principal Jean Todt.
It is speculated that Todt has fallen out with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, including over the latter's desire to pair Fernando Alonso alongside Kimi Raikkonen next season.
Todt Snr, Jnr and Massa, therefore, might be eyeing Toyota for refuge.
Massa, though, bluntly rubbished suggestions that he is switching to Toyota when speaking to reporters at Fuji.
"I am really happy in Ferrari and I would like to finish my career in Ferrari," he said.
Massa, however, confirmed reports that he may now play a supporting role at Ferrari so that Raikkonen has the best possible chance to win the drivers' title.
"I don't have any problem to help the team if I have no chance," he said.
"But at the moment, I still have a chance of taking the title."
