Felipe Massa confirms negotiations ongoing with Lotus over possible 2014 move

Brazilian says he's also had "contact" with McLaren amid 2014 search.

Outgoing Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has confirmed that his management is in talks with Lotus over the possibility of a seat at the Enstone team for 2014, as the Brazilian bids to prolong his Formula 1 career.

Last week's confirmation that Massa's eight-season Ferrari career would come to an end after November's season-ending Brazilian GP appears to have left the 11-time grand prix winner short on options for an alternative drive next season.

Felipe Massa confirms he is to leave Ferrari at the end of this season

Brazilian's place at the team set to be taken by Kimi Raikkonen

Felipe Massa has confirmed he is to leave Ferrari at the end of the season.

The Brazilian's place at the Scuderia is set to be taken by Kimi Raikkonen, although an official announcement outlining the team's 2014 line-up is not expected until Wednesday.

Massa, who only narrowly avoided being dropped by Ferrari 12 months ago before earning a one-year contract extension, has endured a troubled campaign, finishing on the podium just once and garnering half the points of team-mate Fernando Alonso.

In an longer message on his Instagram page, which was posted alongside a picture of his victory celebrations from his home Brazilian GP in 2006, Massa said: "From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari. I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together.
