I don’t thing it was a done deal that Massa was going to be replaced. However the seat was not his for the taking.
I can’t find a link to this at the moment, but I read an article awhile back that had a quote from Williams that said Massa wanted a decision prior to the Brazil race (keep me or not). Problem was that Williams was not ready to make a decision on that timeline, so Massa took himself out of the running.
Granted... Williams took a long time to figure out who was going to be in that seat. And it very well may have been if they can’t find a large paycheck, then keep Massa. So the time was spent searching for who could bring money.
