Felipe Massa says he is considering switching to either DTM, World Endurance Championship (WEC) or Formula E for 2017, following his retirement from Formula One.

The Brazilian announced at the Italian Grand Prix that he would not be continuing to race in F1 in 2017, bringing to an end a 14-year career in the sport. Massa made it clear that he wants to compete in another series for next season but believes competing in America or Brazil is an unlikely scenario.

"No, I don't think it will be [Brazilian] Stock Cars, not IndyCar," Massa said. "I think maybe it will be DTM, WEC or Formula E -- maybe one of these three I think. Everything's open, totally open.

"I have some people [interested] but I just need a little bit of time to think about it and decide in the best way. As I said, I will race, I just need to understand what will be the right choice that I will keep enjoying and having fun."

The Williams driver insists he has no regrets over his decision to leave F1 at the end of this year and feels a sense of relief having made the announcement.

"It was a relief straight away after I said, not just after Monza. To be honest, after Monza now it's the same. I am still happy with my decision and trying to enjoy and have fun in all of these last seven races.

"For sure the fun is also more fun if you have a good result, so that is what I am trying to do. So I hope we can have a good and enjoyable last seven races."
