Hans-Joachim Stuck Says

Former F1 driver and sports car pilot Hans-Joachim Stuck says Filipe Massa has proven himself and should be the focus at Ferrari.
German Stuck, a formula one racer in the 70s, usually attends races as a commentator but he missed the Spanish Grand Prix while he recovers from injuries sustained in a recent sports car shunt.  But he nevertheless told the broadcaster 'Premiere' that Raikkonen's performance at Barcelona has now sealed the 'hierarchy' at the Maranello based team.  "Massa has many more points and Ferrari should now concentrate on him," Stuck said in Munich. Stuck described Fernando Alonso  as the 'big loser' in Spain after putting himself 'at risk' by unsuccessfully trying to pass Massa on the first lap.
Hans-Joachaim is the son of the famous Hans Stuck who had much success in the 1930's driving for Auto Union.
