Massa pleased with general Ferrari performance

19 February 2010

Rain or shine, Felipe Massa is content with the handling of his Ferrari F10 after passing the car over to Fernando Alonso for the conclusion of the second Jerez test. The Brazilian notched up a total of 164 laps over the course of Wednesday and Thursday and remains positive, despite the weather.

With conditions in south-east Spain having been nothing short of appalling this week, all teams have lost crucial track time as full dry conditions are still yet to be seen since Valencia at the start of the month.


"These two days have not been good," 2008 championship runner-up Massa commented. "The track was almost always completely wet. Nevertheless, driving many kilometres was useful for the reliability and for fixing some small problems, and we're all in the same boat so we shouldn't complain."

Adding that the new car performs well, be it wet or dry, Felipe noted that teams should still be making the most of running time. "Obviously, those who didn't have many possibilities to drive in the dry might be penalised because there's only six days of testing left," the Paulista continued.

"From that point of view, I'm really happy that our team has done more laps than any other, but obviously I hope that we'll have some sun in Barcelona!"
