So... what happens to Massa? I think that aside from maybe Mercedes, every other team would benefit from Massa's experience at Ferrari, especially with a radically new car next year that will involve rapid development throughout the season.

Massa > Ricciardo, Perez, Grosjean, and all the drivers from the smaller teams.

I can get that Massa's career is likely winding down, so it would be harder to justify signing him to a long term contract. But with a dev season in 2014, I would think tons of teams would be chomping at the bit to sign him for a 1 or 2 year deal. I wonder if Massa just costs too much... Ferrari was probably paying him handsomely.

I wonder if Massa just ends up staying on at Ferrari as a 3rd driver?
