Felipe deserves the drive - regardless of whom his manager is!
He has been faster than Kimi most of the season and gets on well with his team.
I don't think he's the next Barichello. I think he's an honest title contender...
...needs work in the wet weather though.

Massa was faster in the first half of the season, Kimi's been killing him on the second half of the season.
I assume that's because it took some time for Kimi to learn the Ferrari way. It is, after all, his first year with the team, and Massa is on his second year as a race driver, and fourth year counting in his test driver years.

On the year,
Felipe has 5 Pole Positions, 6 fastest laps (Belgium and China being most recent), 3 wins. His last pole was race 12 in Turkey and his last win was the same race
Kimi has 3 poles (last in Belgium), 5 fastest laps (last in Turkey) and 5 wins
Based on this, I think it is difficult to say that Felipe isn't FASTER than Kimi. He is. Kimi, though may be a better racer.

I think it is also important to note that Kimi - unless he has retired - has held his start position or improved it in each race (he finished in the same place he began on the grid or improved) Felipe, though has had 4 races where he finished further back than where he began.
Felipe also has had 2 penalties involving demotion down the grid and Kimi has had but 1
