Felipe Massa: 'Race of Champions should be included in Formula1 weekends'

Felipe Massa has called for a Race of Champions-style event to be included in Formula 1 race weekends.

A group of Formula 1 drivers, as well as drivers from other forms of motorsport, will race at the Olympic Stadium in London tomorrow, with England duo Jason Plato and Andy Priaulx winning the Nations Cup on Friday evening.

"I think we have a very good relationship but we need to try to enjoy this a little bit more," Massa told reporters.

"An event like this is really good fun and we enjoy it a lot. Unfortunately, in the Formula 1 paddock we cannot enjoy ourselves so much together like this so we will have fun over these three days. Maybe we need something like this in Formula 1 as well."

The Brazilian was suspended from racing at his home grand prix last week after his rear tyre overheated on the starting grid.
