Масса: «Надеюсь, болельщики будут поддерживать меня в других категориях»

Пилот британской команды Формулы-1 Williams Фелипе Масса сделал заявление о завершении карьеры в своем Instagram.

«Привет всем! Как вы знаете, в прошлом году я анонсировал свой уход из Формулы-1, но после просьбы Williams решил вернуться и провести еще один сезон. Но в этот раз гонки в Бразилии и Абу-Даби будут моими последними.

Хочу поблагодарить своих фанатов, семью, друзей, спонсоров. Вы меня здорово поддерживали. Надеюсь увидеть вас на «Интерлагосе» и в Абу-Даби. Также надеюсь, что в следующем году вы сможете меня поддерживать в других категориях».

Williams Martini Racing can confirm that Felipe Massa will leave the team at the end of the 2017 Formula One season. Felipe Massa said: “As everyone knows, after announcing my retirement from Formula One last year, I agreed to return this season to help Williams when the call came. I have now enjoyed four great years with the team, but my career in Formula One will finally come to an end this season. Once more, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this time: my wife and my father, my whole family, my manager Nicolas and all my friends, colleagues and sponsors. I would also like to add a huge thank you to all of the fans who have been incredibly supportive and passionate over the years. I take so many great memories with me as I prepare for my final two races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi, and although they will be emotional, I am looking forward to ending on a high note and preparing for a new chapter in my career.” Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, Williams Martini Racing added: “I would like to thank Felipe for all he has done for the team over the last four years. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him. We are especially grateful that he agreed to postpone his retirement from Formula One for a year, after Valtteri joined Mercedes, which demonstrated the depth of the relationship we built during our time together. We appreciate that it wasn’t an easy decision for him to return, after having such an emotional send-off at the end of last year. On behalf of Sir Frank, and all the team, we give our very best wishes to Felipe for the future.” #massa #f1 #williamsracing
