Massa: Todt still important at Ferrari

According to Felipe Massa former Ferrari CEO and team boss Jean Todt still plays a key role when it comes to making important decisions with the Ferrari Formula 1 team. Ferrari announced earlier this week Todt will step down as CEO of the Italian car manufacturer but will still be closely involved.

"He still participates in the most important decisions of the Ferrari F1 team," said Massa in Sepang. "I feel that he is still taking a lot of responsibility for everything that is happening in the team. He is still around 100 per cent.

"Maybe he is not coming to all the races, maybe he is not working from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the evening like he was doing before but he is still around for the most important decisions. But anyway you ask him what you wanted to ask."
