* Season in progress [edit] Personal life Felipe Massa married Anna Rafaela Bassi on November 30, 2007, in São Paulo, Brazil.[22] They are expecting a baby boy in November 2009.[23] Massa is a friend of Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille, who has dedicated several models of his watches to him (RM-005FM, RM-011).[24] Nicolas Todt, son of Ferrari's past team principal Jean Todt, is Massa's manager. Though Massa supports Brazilian football team São Paulo FC,[25] he also supports the Turkish football team Fenerbahçe that was formerly coached by Zico. On 24 August 2007, Massa said: "Zico was my childhood idol, Roberto Carlos is my best friend. I am a Fenerbahçe fan, because it is just like a Brazilian team. I love Turkey, as I won my first championship race in Turkey, it has special value for me."[26] Massa holds a charity kart race, Desafio Internacional das Estrelas (International Challenge of the Stars) every year since 2005.[27] Notably, many active top level Brazilian drivers have competed in the event, such as Formula 1 drivers Rubens Barrichello and Nelson Piquet, Jr., drivers who competed in American open wheel events such as Tony Kanaan, Mario Moraes, Felipe Giaffone, Vitor Meira, Roberto Moreno, and Gil de Ferran, and Stock Car Brasil champion Cacá Bueno.[28] In addition, Brazilian motorcycle racer Alex Barros has competed. Michael Schumacher and Luca Badoer joined the Brazilian contingent in 2007.[28] [edit] See also Famous Brazilians List of Brazilians in sport [edit] References ^ a b "Massa to stay at Ferrari through 2010". autosport.com. 2007-10-16. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/63353.
