Formula One: Nico, di Resta in line to replace Massa

Ferrari have named three potential drivers as Fernando Alonso’s teammate for next year, according to the BBC. Even though the team intends on retaining their current driver Felipe Massa, their other two options are Force India drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Paul di Resta. The team want to keep the decision pending till mid October after the Korean Grand Prix takes place. “We need to have a driver that respects Ferrari and the tradition of this team,” said Alonso. “I have been working with Felipe for three years now. If the team decide to change Felipe, whoever [comes in] has to be better.”
