Massa, no pressure before the last race

Felipe Massa without the slightest pressure before the last Grand Prix of the season, even though he is 7 points behind his main rival Lewis Hamilton.

To win the championship, Hamilton needs to finish at least 5th, which is not the case for Massa, who must come in first or second while hoping his opponent encounters more difficulties. Despite this, Massa will cross the starting line with the firm intention of winning, as he does every time he is at home.

« I must only think about winning the race, hoping to have my teammate behind me in second position. The only thing I think about is victory. After that, the rest is no longer in my hands. What is certain is that Lewis will try to put pressure on me, but I don’t feel any because I have nothing to lose. » declared Massa.

Ferrari won the last two Brazilian races thanks to Massa in 2006 and Räikkönen in 2007, although Massa spent most of the race in the lead.

« Formula 1 is a team sport, Kimi and I know exactly what we have to do. But all drivers are under contract with their teams, so you are never alone. When you’re looking to win the championship with only one driver mathematically having the chance to win, the pressure of the whole team naturally falls on that driver. »
