Felipe Massa Q&A

"It was the first time this year! We never had an engine problem before. It was a shame, but that's life."



"No, I think it was our set-up. It was completely wrong during the week. But in the race we improved a lot, and we had a very good car for the race. But it was too late. I was fighting a lot in the race, and it was quite good in the beginning. Also later I was behind McNish, and it was difficult to overtake him. But I overtook him in the pits, and I was quick after that. It was a good race and I could have been eighth or ninth."



"For me for sure it was disappointing. I was surprised with his decision. I think I have done a good job this year, and a lot of people also thought that I've done a good job. But I'm young, and I think we will find a solution."



"I don't know what's going to happen."



"I think what I have to improve is the qualifying. You have to find the right moment, and you have just four laps to do your time. You have to have a good car balance, and you can be unlucky with traffic and everything. So it's not easy."



"Yes, he's a good guy, and a very good driver, and I learned a lot with him."



"Yes, I think it's is a little bit harder. I think to drive the car is easier than you expect, but overall it's a little bit harder than the other categories."



"I didn't have a lot of time to test in the winter, but I think it was time enough to get some experience. I think I've improved in all the tests and all the races, and I think I will improve much more in the future."



"I don't know, I never drove there with an F1 until the next test [this week]. I hope to find a better balance for Monza."
