Massa insists title a remote possibility

Massa completed just six laps of last Sunday's Italian Grand Prix before being hit by a mechanical problem that all but put an end to his hopes of taking the title.

The Brazilian driver, however, says that nothing is impossible and that he won't change his approach to the races despite his slim options.

"Impossible is not a word I like to use, but in terms of the drivers' championship, if it is not impossible for me to win it, it is certainly looking very difficult indeed," the Ferrari driver wrote on his official blog.

"I never give up and I will keep trying but making up a difference of 23 points to Hamilton would not be easy.

"If the championship now only seems a remote possibility I don't think it will change my approach to the races that are still left.

"It is not as though I will find it easier to race hard if I tell myself there is nothing to lose, because this season, I have won races when I have been under a lot of pressure, so being relaxed is not something that would make a difference.

"Between now and the end of the year, I just want to get as many victories as possible all the way to the last race, he added.

Massa also vowed to stay focused on his on-track job despite the crucial meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council tomorrow.

"Thursday, the day we all arrive at the track, everyone will be waiting for news from the World Council meeting in Paris, so I am sure there will be a lot of questions aimed at us drivers and the team bosses," he said.

"Within the team we have not discussed this situation. The important thing is that whatever is right and fair must be done, but I am concentrating on my job on the track. I don't want to get involved with the off-track situation."
