SAO PAULO: Brazilian Felipe Massa has admitted that he would sacrifice a home win in Sao Paulo Sunday if it meant his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso won the title. Massa is out of championship contention, but double champion Alonso, whose victory in Korea two weeks ago gave him an 11 points lead in the championship, could have the title wrapped up at Interlagos Sunday. When asked whether he would hand the win to Alonso, Massa said: “I did already, no? In 2007 I did it, you don't remember? I am a professional driver.” Although he admitted that the main focus of the team was on Alonso's title chances, Massa insisted that he would still be doing everything he could to win in front of his home crowd. He said: “I expect to win the race as well, I will do the best I can to win the race for the people. For sure when you have a driver taking points away from other drivers, who are fighting for the championship, it is always important. I see myself there, and for sure thinking about starting in the best position and finishing in the best position as well.” Massa urged Alonso to be calm going into this weekend's race and that the most important thing was making sure he was champion after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in a week's time. Massa said: “He (Alonso) is first in the championship so for sure he can do it, the focus is to win the championship. If he wins here for sure it is good for the team, but the focus is (only) that he can win the championship. “We know how at some races everybody was sure Red Bull was going to win easy, and then something happens in the race so they lose many points, which is exactly what happened in the last race. “Seb (Vettel) has 10 pole positions and won three races, so you can see everything can be possible in the championship, especially now Fernando is in front. The chance to win now is quite big.” 20-race 2011 calendar Formula One's governing body ratified a record 20-race 2011 calendar Wednesday, with lingering question marks over the Chinese and Indian Grands Prix. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) said both were included but subject to homologation, or approval, of the circuits. That was expected in the case of India, due to make its debut on Oct. 30 with a new track under construction near New Delhi. China's impressive Shanghai circuit has hosted seven Formula One races but an FIA spokeswoman said changes needed to be made. “The homologation license for the Shanghai International Circuit has expired and before a new license can be issued by the FIA some work on the track is required, with particular regards to the current drainage system and the quality of the track surface,” she said.
