It’s been a tradition of the Australian Grand Prix, even back in the days when the race was held in Adelaide – drivers sitting in the shade on a well-manicured lawn, talking to journalists. And that’s how Felipe Massa’s track activity began here today, as he tackled the usual media session. “It’s the here and now that counts,” claimed the Ferrari man, when asked if winter testing made him confident for the year. “Testing is testing, but it is only now that we will see all the teams running with the same fuel load and the same tyres. In a new championship, everyone starts with zero points. We understood a lot from last year, in terms of which direction we should go in, when building the new car and this one is definitely better than the one with which we started last year. We have had far fewer problems with the F138 and less surprises with the numbers we have seen from it and it was working the way we had expected at the tests. The feeling I get when driving it is much nicer, so it is a much better way to start the season. I don’t think we will get all the answers about the hierarchy of the teams from this weekend, but I am sure we have what we need to start off in the right direction. Saturday and Sunday will produce some answers.”
