Felipe Massa has been spending his off-season breaking football transfer news on social media.

The Williams driver often has fellow Brazilian sports stars visiting him at his home grand prix, and was recently joined at Interlagos by Brazil and Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato.

Pato has been linked with a move to England's Premier League with Chelsea, and Massa appeared to confirm the switch before it was announced, writing on Instagram: “Brother I'm sure it's gonna be very good for you!! Happy birthday and a lot of strength, let's go!! @Pato I am sure it will be very good for you my bro!! Congrats @chelseafc.”
