Ferrari has rubbished speculation that it is on the verge of sac♉king the underperforming Feliꦏpe Massa.

Despite seemingly issuing another 'hurry up' to the Brazilian following the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend [see separate story - HERE], the Scuderia has denied the 2008 F1 World Championship runner-up will be shown the d♈oor if he fails to shine around the streets of Mo🍃nte Carlo later this month.

"It was funny to read on the media this morning how the same concepts can be read in a different way froꦐm one day to the next one," the Scuderia tweeted.

"What was published on our web site Monday evening just reflected what [Stefano] Domenicali [team principal] said Sunday night about Felipe, nothing more than this! Anyway, someone has found a good opportunity to pr𝓰omote the umpteenth candidate to replace Felipe: this time it is 🌠[Jerome] D'Ambrosio...."

D'Ambrosio is the latest in a long line of drivers to be linked with Massa's seat, following on from ex-Force India man Adrian Sutil, Paul di Resta, Mark Webber and Sergio Perez, and while the Lotus F1 test and reserve driver is a long shot, French newspaper, L'Equipe notes, he has the 'advantage of being immediately available' and could fill the void until the end of the season, when Ferrari ca🎉n put in a place a more 'permanent solution'.

Whether he wou🔯ld be able to♍ do any better than the Brazilian though, is another matter altogether...

What is clear, however, is that Ferrari do expect more from Massa in Monaco: "We expect Felipe to react and fight back after this unlucky weekend🃏, starting in Monaco: we absolutely need his points to also fight for the Constructors' title," Domenicali stated after Sunday's race.
