Massa charges Ferrari

“We are growing fast”

The Singapore Grand Prix is ​​just around the corner and Ferrari comes strong thanks to Alonso’s victory and Massa’s third place. And just the Paulista driver makes a balance of his season on the eve of the night race: “It’s an average budget. A bit of negative races, surely, but I have to say that in the last 4-5 the budget was quite positive for Ferrari “says Felipe in a video interview on the Rossa website.

“Perhaps we are the team that has made more points than the others in the last 4 races, showing that we have grown so much during the championship and now we still have five races that are very important and we hope to continue in the direction of the last ones”, says Massa, who then , continuing the analysis of his season, he adds: “I am even more disappointed and also a little pissed off about those three races where we could make good points, but in Canada I suffered an accident and then also at the end; in Valencia we had “There was a problem with the safety car, and even there we could make good points with both cars. Finally, even at Silverstone I could do them, but we didn’t succeed. In light of all this, looking at how much I fought I could be in a good position.” Then, on the Singapore city runway,

I did perhaps the most beautiful qualifications, I was six tenths ahead of the second which was Kimi Raikkonen and, in the race, I had the victory in my pocket, then what happened, with the safety car, happened. I went very strong. I hope to still be competitive. ”

Massa will have a new frame for this race.” Nothing changes, the cars are the same, the frames are the same, “he explains. On the search for the right set-up, he adds:” For the Singapore track we must look at Monaco, they are more or less in the same direction, they are two city circuits and in Monaco it was not a bad race for us, everything worked well and I think we can be competitive here too. We must, however, be careful of the Red Bull that has almost all the poles and also of McLaren, which sometimes goes stronger and others less “.

Finally, the San Paolo driver once again refers to the thrill of being on the podium at Monza. “Going up to the podium in Monza and seeing a kilometer of Ferrari fans was a unique experience. It made me so happy, with all those people jumping and shouting your name. I’ll never forget that.”
