Felipe Massa: “Kimi Was on Different Tires Than Me, And, For Sure, He Had Better Grip”



Q: Felipe, are you more worried now after this race seeing how McLaren is pulling away from Ferrari?

MASSA: We always worry. We don’t like to be behind. When you see our competitors in front, you always get worried. But we need to be together to improve, and I trust my team.

MASSA: Yeah, I lost a lot of—when they came in, especially I think it was Lewis—no, Lewis came together with me, but in my in lap and the last lap I was in traffic, and I lost a little bit of the gap. And that create me a bit of problem because I was in the big traffic in the in lap, so I lost maybe more than one second and then I stop. I go out, and I was also behind some cars going out of the pit. So there I lost quite important time.

MODERATOR: Some more questions.

MASSA: Just to race, so no.
