According to Finland's MTV3, the management of the Scuderia Ferrari has invited the representatives of F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen to a meeting in Maranello in the next few days.

It is believed that the topic of the meeting will be the extension of Felipe Massa's contract with Ferrari.

Following two strong drives in the recent Grands Prix, Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali has apparently agreed to extend Massa's contract for one year, closing the door on Kovalainen.

According to MTV3, Kovalainen's manager Martin Anayi is also in contact with Lotus F1 Team's boss Eric Boullier. But it is very likely that the team will retain Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean next year.

The likeable Kovalainen will most likely continue with Caterham next season. It is not sure however if Russian driver Vitaly Petrov will again be his teammate.
