Felipe Massa at his best level since 2008?

Felipe Massa is still looking for a first podium this season. After finishing in 4th position in Australia and 6th place in Malaysia, the pilot Williams achieved a new top five in China while maintaining the advantage over his teammate Valtteri Bottas. If the performances of the FW37s are slightly behind expectations, the Brazilian continues to display great combativeness.

Asked if he was flying as well as in 2008 when he was a pilot Ferrari, the Paulist responded in the affirmative. “I think that’s the case. The only difference is that we were fighting for the title and not anymore. I certainly had the best car in 2008 while my current team is the 3rd force in the field, but I feel very comfortable behind the wheel... Many have written that my accident (during testing for the 2009 Hungarian GP) had completely changed my riding and maybe that wasn't true. »
