Massa: Williams could challenge for title in 2015

Felipe Massa pulled off a great move when he arrived at Williams Racing. The Grove team was able to take advantage of the performance of the 6l turbo/hybrid V1.6 to fight at the front and even threaten at times the Mercedes. The British team finally took third place in the Manufacturers' Championship, While Valtteri Bottas finished fourth.

His teammate Felipe Massa finished a little further behind, 52 points behind the Finn, but the Paulist still showed off with three podiums up for grabs, the last having been clinched at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after threatening Lewis Hamilton. “A lot of things happened in the first half of the season that made me lose good results. Things didn't start off the way I wanted, but we ended with a car really very competitive”, said the former pilot Ferrari at Globo Esporte.

The performances delivered by Felipe Massa allow him to look forward to 2015 with the greatest optimism. “I'm happy with the second half of the season and I'm beyond excited for next year. I think we can have a better year, a more competitive car, and fight for wins and the Championship again. I was already in the fight for victory in the last race and I hope that we will arrive at Interlagos (Brazil) and Abu Dhabi with a chance for the title. »

If Felipe Massa's expectations may seem a little too high given the performances of the Mercedes displayed this year, the Brazilian is defending himself. “The regulations will not change too much. Most teams that have a competitive car will not have big changes. But it’s still a new car, a new year…”
