Look-alike Massa brothers puzzle fans
October 28th, 2011 - 8:50 pm ICT by IANSGreater Noida, Oct 28 (IANS) Eduardo Massa is the spitting image of his brother Felipe and Friday many mistook him to be the Ferrari driver and flocked to him to congratulate on recording the fastest lap time at free practice here at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC).
The 26-year-old Eduardo, younger brother of the Brazilian, enjoyed his moment of fame, foxing everyone as he took a stroll at the paddock.
The Indian Grand Prix here is Eduardo’s third in the season while accompanying his brother. Eduardo also takes part in local circuits in Sao Paulo besides managing them.
“Wherever I go, people mistake me for my elder brother. But that’s cool. I don’t mind it all,” a smiling Eduardo told IANS.
Eduardo defended his brother, who has been criticised for not being aggressive.
“I have seen him racing from more than 20 years now. He is aggressive and he is with one of the best teams in Formula One,” said Eduardo.
