Question: Felipe, obviously you’re looking already at next year but this is a very important race for you as well.
Felipe Massa: Yes, for sure. I think when we have the last race in Brazil you cannot just forget and look at next year. This is a very important race for us. I think for all of us Brazilians this is also like a championship, this race. I think when you race at home it’s like a different championship. So we try to do the best we can here. I’m happy to already have achieved two victories here in Sao Paolo, in Brazil and looking forward to having another strong weekend and just thinking about this race 100 per cent. And then on Sunday after the race just move everything to next year, which I definitely hope will be much better than this year.
Question: What do you think you can give to your tifosi this weekend?
Felipe Massa: Well, for sure we have the same car from the Championship. No new parts on the car but I think when you race at home it’s better. I think you feel extra power and everything from the people and I think it’s a help. I hope definitely I can have a good weekend here fighting for the podium. If it is the first place, that would be fantastic but I’m definitely looking to have my best result from the Championship in this race.
Question: And as well as those two wins, three consecutive pole positions as well, so it’s been a good circuit for you.
Felipe Massa: It’s the place where I started my career, over the other side of the wall, which we always say here, which is in the go-kart track in the other side. And then when I was 16 I moved to this side and started my career here at this track. It’s a very special track for all of us and it also a great feeling to race here in Formula One in a place that I always came to as a kid to watch Ayrton and Nelson - not Emerson! - but it’s a place that’s so special for me.
Question: In the last race we saw that some drivers could overtake the competitor in front, and the following straight you could get the position back. Here there is more or less a similar situation: we have a great pit
straight and then you brake hard and then you have another straight where you can use the DRS. Do you believe you will be in the same situation as you were in the last race?
Felipe Massa: I think you can. If you have overtaken the car on the main straight, which is the better place for overtaking, without using DRS, it is possible you can be overtaking again at the next one, because in the next one you’re going to have the DRS. I think it can be the same situation. For sure, maybe it could be the same as what happened in the last race.
Question: Felipe, do you have any news about your new front wings, the problems?
Felipe Massa: Well, we’re going to have all these front wings from the last three races here again and I hope it’s not going to shake. I’m looking forward to run these front wings without any problems.
