Massa: “Help Ferrari and Fernando”

Problems in qualifying in Singapore, retirement from the first lap at Suzuka, the black cat does not seem to want to leave the F10 by Felipe Massa. The Brazilian is having a very difficult 2010 season. If he has already had to give up on the world title, the Ferrari driver claims to have lost none of his motivation, ensuring that he will do everything possible to help the Team, and therefore his teammate Fernando Alonso, during the last three Grands Prix.

“I will try to bring home a significant number of points to help the Scuderia in their fight in both championships. » says the 2008 world vice-champion.

Just like the rest of the field, Massa will have to discover the new Korean circuit. A track which according to him should suit his car, now competitive on all types of track.

“It could be closer to Shanghai, he explains, although there are sections with big braking points and slow corners, which are more reminiscent of Bahrain. Will it fit the F10? Except for the times when Red Bull were untouchable, the Ferrari performed well on all circuits, so there is no reason why this should not be the case here. First of all we need to pass a good qualification. In the race I want to fight among the drivers fighting for the championship. This is the best thing I can do to help Ferrari and Fernando as the end of the season approaches. Korea will be the last Asian stage, and I would like to arrive in Sao Paulo, for my home race with a good result in my pocket. I know the whole team is determined, and I am ready to make my contribution. »

If he is no longer one of the title contenders, Felipe Massa could have an important role to play at the end of the season. Of the five candidates for the crown only Fernando Alonso will be able to count on the help of his teammate.
