Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Confirms New Drivers for 2007 [Non-Spoiler]

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

The funny thing was the team knew about this back in 2004.  I had drinks
with Massa and three engineers from Ferrari (Massa was only the test driver
at the time) in Shanghai.  One of the engineers let the cat out of the bag
then that the only new talent the team was interested in was Kimi and Massa.

And no, Kimi did not pass out drunk in my back yard in Shanghai that year...
