Massa bothered by the balance of the F150°

Felipe Massa will start from 8th position while his teammate Fernando Alonso will start for the first time this season on the second row on the grid. The Brazilian thinks that this poor result can be explained by a balance problem on his F150° Italia.

« It really wasn?t the performance I was hoping for in qualifying, but we struggled all weekend with the balance of the car », explains Felipe Massa. “ We should have been perfect from the start but that wasn't the case. Hopefully the car runs better and we can get a better result. »

The pilot of the Team Ferrari adds that the new hard tires significantly lower the performance of the F150° Italia. “ It’s clear that we suffer more than the others with the hard tires,” adds the Brazilian. “We will definitely see more overtaking than in the past and this will amplify the degradation of the tires. »
