Felipe Massa has hailed reports that Bernie Ecclestone will purchase the Brazilian Grand Prix venue, Interlagos, as it was reported this week the former CEO of Formula 1 was interested in the buying the location.
The Brazilian Grand Prix is one of a few races who's future is in doubt, and many fans are calling for it to be quickly saved to hush all the rumours regarding its potential disappearance from the calendar.
It has been suggested that Ecclestone is looking at securing the future of the event, which has hosted many iconic and memorable races in its history.
"As far as I know, it's an idea that is under discussion," Brazilian driver Massa, when asked about Sao Paulo's plans to sell Interlagos, said in Shanghai. "Let's see how events develop, but if someone is interested in buying, it's good for the track and the city.
"I heard that Bernie is interested, and because I know him well I can say he is not a person who will buy something if he does not believe in its success. So if Bernie is interested, I fully support him," the Williams driver added.
