Why Massa wasn't quite ready to finish

Felipe Massa has revealed why he just can’t stay away from the thrill of racing with the Brazilian preparing for his Formula E debut.

Massa who has retired twice from Formula One signed a contract with Venturi to be their main driver in the upcoming Formula E season.

"I love to race," Massa revealed to CNN's Supercharged show at the Venturi launch in Monaco.

"I like new challenges so it's definitely a new challenge for me and I'm looking forward for this new experience in Formula E, especially with the Venturi team." Added Massa.

The former Ferrari driver joins a star-studded lineup in Formula E with former F1 drivers: Jean Eric Vergne, Pascal Wehrlein and Stoffel Vandoorne all joining the up and coming division.

Venturi’s team principle Susie Wolff also revealed to Supercharged what it means to have a big name like Massa on the team saying: “He's a huge asset to the team. First off, I just really like him as a person a lot, but (also) the experience he can bring having been in motorsport at such a high level for so long.”
