Aug.11 (GMM) Felipe Massa insists he is not worried despite admitting that talks with Ferrari about 2013 have not yet begun.

With 30-year-old Brazilian's contract running out at the end of next year, team boss Stefano Domenicali hinted that Massa's eventual successor will be an up-and-coming youngster.

But Massa insists he is used to the constant speculation about his seat.

"Did you not follow my first year at Ferrari? It was always like this, so nothing has changed, but it doesn't worry me," he told Programa do Jo television.

Domenicali also said that Massa needs to up his race consistency, but the driver insists it is too early to start looking beyond his current contract.

"We have not talked as there is still a season and a half in front. What I have to do now is concentrate and try to do a better job," said Massa.
