Massa: “Working on performance”

Felipe Massa did not spend the morning scrutinizing his name at the top of the timesheet. Ferrari working on preparing for the race, the drivers of the Team were not in the performance register. Eleventh time in the first session, fifteenth in the second session, the Brazilian lined up the laps without worrying the clock. But, for the 2008 vice-World Champion, the ranking of these two sessions cannot be taken as a reference.

« As usual, it is difficult to draw hasty conclusions after these three hours of free testing, confides the Brazilian. We completed a different program than our opponents, so we cannot say where we are compared to the others. What is clear is that McLaren et Red Bull seem to be doing very well. But let's wait and see what happens during qualifying and especially during the race. »

During these three hours of testing, Ferrari was able to work to adapt the F10 to the characteristics of the Sepang circuit. “ We tried to find good settings and understand the behavior of the tires. The car handles quite well. We just need to work on pure performance but we don't have problems in any particular area. Once again, I have a very good feeling with the F10, on a circuit full of fast turns. »
