Question: First of all your impression of India?
Felipe Massa: I think it is very nice, I am enjoying being here in India and also to see the circuit. It is pretty interesting even all these hairpins with very wide braking point which you can choose two different lines. I think that is a very interesting even for overtaking and everything so I think it will be a nice circuit.
Question: Felipe, some good races recently from the team. What are your thoughts on the recent performances?
Felipe Massa: Well I think it was okay. We didn’t bring so many pieces in the last races so the car was more or less similar four races ago, for example. But it is true that in some tracks the car was a bit more competitive than at other tracks. I would say the last two tracks the car was a little bit more competitive compared to Spa, Monza so I think depends on the layout of the track. Maybe we can be a bit more competitive, depending on the track maybe it was a bit more difficult, so we will see how it is going to be here and how it is going to be in the next two races as well. I hope we can push hard to see better results.
Question: What tracks does it suit and is this one and the next two exactly those sort of tracks that suits?
Felipe Massa: I think it is difficult to say as at some tracks we expected to be competitive and we were not so competitive and some other tracks where we expected to be in a difficult direction we were competitive, for example, in England, so we will see. It is difficult to say.
Question: Felipe, what are your personal targets and what are the team’s for the last three races? Are you more concentrated on scoring points and winning here or more concentrated on starting to develop the car for next year?
Felipe Massa: I think both. We’ve concentrated on the last three races. The target is always to fight for the podium, to try to see if we have the possibility to even get to fight for the victory. That’s always the target. It’s not easy but that’s always the direction we take. Already, we’re working very hard for next year, already developing the car, trying to put all the ideas for the new car, trying to see everything that we were not so happy this year about, to try to make the car stronger next year, which I guess most of the team is already working very hard on next year. But now these are important moments to put all the good points for the next year’s development.
