Ferrari Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa tips Lewis Hamilton to shine in his debut season. Hamilton is in his first season of racing, driving alongside former double World Champion Fernando Alonso at McLaren.

“I think he’s going to be quick and maybe the surprise of the year” Massa said about the British born Hamilton who won every series he has taken part in, including GP2 last year.

Massa also thinks Heikki Kovalainen “is going to be quick as well; he has a lot of experience.” The Brazilian Ferrari driver also referred to BMW’s Robert Kubica whom he sees as “a great driver, for sure” . “He showed a good performance last year even without so much experience. I’m pretty much sure that he can be a great driver for the future,” Massa was quoted as saying.
