Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali is confident Felipe Massa will not follow in the footsteps of Rubens Barrichello and walk out on the team now or in the future.
Massa stated this week he would quit Formula One the day he becomes a number two driver, a situation Barrichello could not tolerate any longer after six seasons serving as Michael Schumacher's puppet.
Barrichello, who most people remember as giving up a victory in the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix for Schumacher, still regrets to this day his actions on that occasion.
Now it seems certain people will also recall how Massa gifted Sunday's German Grand Prix win to team-mate Fernando Alonso.
It has prompted speculation about Massa's future, and whether he will remain to see out the two years following this season he has on a new contract he only signed a couple of months ago.
Asked whether he was concerned he would lose Massa the same way Ferrari lost Barrichello, Domenicali replied: "No, I don't think so.
"We are very happy with Felipe, on the personal and professional side. We are proud of him, and we haven't changed our view.
"The philosophy of his life is part of our spirit.
"No-one more than Ferrari has always supported Felipe, every time, all the time.
"We have already said Felipe is a great driver, a great man, and he wants to win, which is what we want, and we want to see him part of the team.
"In this moment when you are surrounded by a lot of people who are pushing you, you react with a lot of energy.
"It's important you react with energy that is positive, both for him and the team."
Unsurprisingly, Domenicali has called on the FIA to rid the sport of the rule prohibiting team orders, applied in the first place after what happened in 2002.
"It's a matter for discussion, something that needs to be addressed, and we don't need to be cosmetic," added Domenicali.
"It is a matter of principle. We believe it is a team sport, and this is a fundamental point.
"We need to be cool when we discuss these things. People tend to be too emotional."
On track in Friday's practice at the Hungaroring, Alonso and Massa finished second and fourth quickest, with the former half a second down and the latter almost nine 10ths of a second back.
For Massa, he was also about laying to rest any demons that may have lurked following his near-fatal accident at this track over a year ago.
"Returning to driving at this track was not difficult for me," said Massa.
"When you are in the car and you shut the visor, you only think about going quickly.
"It was definitely good yesterday to go to the medical centre and meet the people who took care of me immediately after the accident.
"It was equally emotional to have dinner with the surgeon who operated on me at Budapest's AEK hospital.
"I wish to take this opportunity to again thank everyone for what they did for me a year ago. They are really extraordinary people."
