has just confirmed that it has signed Felipe Massa to a one-year contract extension that will keep the Brazilian with the team through the end of the 2013 Formula 1 season. 

Massa and Ferrari released a statement yesterday that the two sides had agreed on a contract, and they would sign it in the coming weeks. 

"When you get the OK from both directions that is when you are sure. I think it will be pretty soon to be honest," said Mass yesterday. 

Massa has struggled this season with just four top-ten finishes in the first ten races, but he has not been out of the top ten in the last six races. All of his top-five finishes have come in the last portion of the season, and he scored his only podium this season at the Japanese Grand Prix.
