Felipe Massa: “Bringing us closer to Ferrari”

A little less than a fortnight ago in Monaco, the Williams FW37 Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa had been in great pain on the Principality route, which was feared by the Grove clan, rightly so given the race results (14th and 15th).

This weekend, Frank Williams' single-seaters will return to the Canadian track in Montreal where Massa missed a golden opportunity last year to play leading roles, after a collision at the end of the race with the Force India of Sergio Pérez. “Last year it was a good race and we showed good pace, but unfortunately for me it didn't end in the best way. » The Paulist had suffered 27G during the clash according to data collected by Sky at the time.

The former resident of Maranello also believes that the British team should be able to fight with the Ferrari SF15-Ts. “We know the FW37 should be fast on this particular track. The Montreal circuit is completely different compared to the last race and we expect our performance level to be back to where it was at the start of the season. We should be able to start getting closer to Ferrari and have a real battle with them and the other teams. » explains the Brazilian.
