Life at Ferrari goes on without Todt

Friday 28th March 2008

Felipe Massa says Jean Todt's departure from Ferrari won't have a negative impact on the team.

Todt stepped down as team principal in January and was replaced by Stefano Domenicali. Two months later he relinquished his title of CEO.

"To be honest, everything feels pretty much the same," Massa told the official F1 website.

"Even if Jean's areas of responsibility within our organisation have changed, the team itself is still the same with the same targets as we had in the past. The mentality is the same and it is doing a good job.

"When you replace some people in the team with others who work in the same way, then it changes little.

"We have seen in the past when Ross Brawn left, people said it was going to be different, but we still won and then again the same situation after Michael (Schumacher) left."
