Felipe Massa stated that he expected a very close battle for victory tomorrow at the Turkish Grand Prix. Nevertheless, he will start with an advantage since he secured pole position after the qualifying sessions.
The Ferrari driver achieved a time of 1’27”617 for his third consecutive pole position in Turkey. He also won the last two races in 2006 and 2007.
Despite this pole position, the Brazilian does not expect an easy race with the McLaren drivers who will be right on his heels.
« I am pumped up to deliver the best race possible, » stated Massa.
« Of course, it won’t be easy because we know our competitors are competitive and right behind us. »
We will try everything to clinch the victory. We need to be equipped with good tires at the right time and use the car in a good configuration.
The Ferrari driver, currently fourth in the standings, feels almost at home on the Istanbul Park track.
« It’s a fantastic track. I enjoy driving on this course immensely. Turn 8 is very difficult, there is a lot of oversteer and the turns are generally very technical. »
« There are a lot of direction changes in the first sector. It’s really pleasant to come here, » concluded Felipe Massa.
