Felipe Massa achieved good results in the first two qualifying sessions of 2013, finishing ahead of his teammate, Fernando Alonso, each time. However, success has not followed on Sunday, as the last race won by the Brazilian driver was in 2008, at home on the Interlagos circuit.<\/p>\n

However, this does not discourage the Paulistano: \u00ab To win, we must be confident and I am. I don’t think we had the car to win in Malaysia, but it was competitive enough for the podium. If we continue on this path, we will increase our chances of victory and our chances to fight for the title. Despite everything, we must keep our feet on the ground, we have done an excellent job on the car since last year, but there is still a lot to do. \u00bb<\/p>\n

The task is not easy, however, as the driver has to face other big teams such as Red Bull and Mercedes: \u00ab Of course, Red Bull may be even stronger at the moment but we will see. Mercedes is there and Lotus is very competitive too. It will be an interesting and difficult season, but we will be there without a doubt. \u00bb<\/p>\n

For the team’s director Stefano Domenicali, it is still too early to make predictions and say where Ferrari stands in relation to its competitors, but he is convinced that it will be in the running for the title by the end of the year: \u00ab I don’t know exactly where we are but I am sure that we are among the leaders. There are circuits where our car will perform better and there are others where competing cars do better than ours. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
