Sergio Perez at Ferrari this week

After his second place at Monza, all eyes are on Sergio Perez’s next move.

So the rumour-mongers will have a field day to learn that Sauber’s Mexican will be at Maranello this week.

However, Ferrari insisted that Perez - Ferrari’s leading driver ’academy’ member - has been scheduled to visit the team in mid September "for months".

And Felipe Massa will also be at the team’s headquarters later this week, to drive the simulator.

The Brazilian is struggling to hold onto his race seat for 2013, but a surge in form lately moved the influential La Gazzetta dello Sport to observe that Massa has "extended his claws", including a solid run to fourth at Monza.
