Massa awaits the Barcelona sun

Felipe Massa, on track Wednesday and Thursday, was not able to take advantage of ideal conditions to continue the development of the Ferrari F10. But, even if the sky was capricious, the Brazilian was one of the most diligent on the track Thursday, with 92 covers. However, in the morning, he was stuck in his pit for two hours due to a mechanical problem. “ This issue ? There is nothing to worry about. We know what we have to do to fix it », Commented Felipe Massa. “ The car is perfectly tuned, both in the dry and in the wet. »

The Brazilian also analyzed his two days of testing. “ Yesterday (Wednesday) and today (Thursday), the track was almost completely wet. Despite everything, we covered many kilometers to improve reliability and resolve a few problems. Then we're all in this together, so I can't complain. Obviously, those who were unable to drive in the dry could be penalized because there are only six days of testing left. From this point of view, I'm really happy that our team did more laps than the others. But, obviously, I hope we will have sun in Barcelona! »

Asked about the level of competitiveness of his opponents, Felipe Massa does not only base himself on the timesheets. But give more credit to the top teams from whom we expect a lot. “ I would say that Red Bull has a good car but that?s no surprise given the way they finished last season. I expect us to fight against them, McLaren et Mercedes, but it?s still too early to say anything concrete. »
