Felipe Massa: lap time means nothing

Felipe Massa showed the best time in the third day of the winter test in Jerez and summed up the results of the work done on Friday it will replace Pedro de La Rosa. . .

Felipe Massa: "We spent three very important test day, although most of them have dedicated aerodynamic tests at a fixed speed. It's not the tests that need to quickly find the optimal balance or correct settings, so I drove not too many circles.
Best time of the day? The machine is allowed to show this time, but we do specifically for this was not done. Always nice at the end of the day to see your name on the first line, but on the tests it doesn't mean anything. However, I would have been disappointed if it were the last.

I continue to assert that the time of Jenson on Tuesday was incredible. He showed this result in the most hard tyres Hard, on the first day, on a muddy track is impressive. On the first day with our car this time show would have failed, even though we did not try.

I guess many people will agree that during these three days we managed to add. Today I made good time, but it is difficult to say where we will be relative to rivals in the beginning of the championship. However, I believe that the work done will allow us to find the right development direction of the machine.

Today we traveled a greater distance, I worked with different rubber compositions. On Soft I was able to significantly improve the lap time - the result was even better than I expected. The machine is well balanced in this aspect, we have found more or less in the right direction.

Frankly, I am sure that the opponents have built a very fast machine, and it's hard to say what kind of result we can expect in the first race. A lot of work ahead, we have 100% focus on your problems, make the car faster and as well prepare for the first race. I don't know if we are ready for it now, but the beginning of a promising".
