<p>Brazilian Felipe Massa announced on Tuesday he was leaving Ferrari at the end of the season. <br /><br /></p>.<p>"From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari," the driver said in a post on Instagram and Twitter. "I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together. <br /><br />"For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the Championship...," he added. <br /><br />While speculation about Massa's future has been a regular occurrence of recent seasons, this time the Brazilian recognised he had run out of road and his exit could leave his country without any driver on the starting grid. <br /><br />Massa has not won since 2008, when he was overall runner-up, and has been on the podium just once this year. But he was a loyal team mate to Alonso who made clear who he would rather have in the other red car. <br /><br />"I have a lot of respect for Felipe. We've been working very hard and close for four years to give Ferrari the maximum," Alonso said in a response to fans on Twitter on Monday. <br /><br />"Whatever decision the team will take will be good for me and we will keep working to give Ferrari the best results possible."</p>
