Felipe Massa plunged into incomprehension

“It?s difficult to understand what happened today.” Felipe Massa is disappointed after his Chinese Grand Prix. Very lively during free practice and author of an excellent start in the race where he overtook Kimi Räikkönen and Nico Rosberg to complete the first lap in third place, the Brazilian ultimately had to be content from sixth position crossing the checkered flag, far behind Fernando Alonso, his teammate, who took the victory. “The departure went very well. I was immediately fast and the car ran perfectly. At the first stop, I put on the Medium tires after a few laps and I started to suffer from graining at the front?, explains the pilot Ferrari.

“This implies that I lost ground on the other cars and it was probably due to a problem related to the track conditions and my driving style”, continues the Paulist. “During the whole weekend, I didn't feel comfortable with these tires and during the race, all the tests I did to save them were useless. Without this problem, I think I could have been in the battle for the podium, but I remain confident because, at the same time, I was able to bring home a good haul of points which is important in a season that has only just started », positive Felipe Massa.
