Massa believes Raikkonen is big challenge

Next season Felipe Massa will have a new teammate on his side at Ferrari. Michael Schumacher will retire and be replaced with current McLaren driver Kimi Raikkonen. Massa expects a good relationship with Raikkonen and believes the Finn will be a big challenge for him on track.

"Kimi will be a new and big challenge for me," Massa told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I believe we will become a good pair at Ferrari. My relationship with Michael has always been good so I am sure it will be the same with Kimi." Massa's contract with the Italian team was extended for another two seasons. The Brazilian was obviously very pleased with his new contract. "This is obviously something I am very proud of."
