Felipe Massa aims to perform well in 2012 Monaco Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, who has been seen struggling in the season so far, is aiming to perform well in 2012 Monaco Grand Prix which is to be held at Circuit de Monaco in Spain on May 27.
The Brazilian driver has only been able to score just 2 points in the first five races while his teammate, Fernando Alonso is leading the drivers’ championship along with the defending champion, Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing.
Moreover, he stated that the start of 2012 Formula 1 season has been the hardest time in his career until now as he has not been able to deliver even a single convincing performance for his team. Therefore, he said that they need to make efforts to take
the necessary steps in order to solve the issues. In addition, he said that he is hoping to show some good pace in the next race.
“I have had a few difficult times in my career, maybe the start to this season has been the most difficult so far,” he said. “So, we need to get out of this situation, get-back on a good direction and that is what I am concentrating on. I have to deal with
the technical side of the problem, but it causes a mental side as it is not easy to deal with this situation. But if you fix one, it is easier to fix other. I hope this weekend is where one can consider that my 2012 championship will begin.”
It will be important to mention that there have a lot of discussions regarding his replacement with Sergio Perez of Sauber who secured an impressive second podium finish in the second race held at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia on wet track.
However, the team principal of Ferrari, Stefano Domenicali discharged all the rumours and expressed that they are ready to provide Massa with everything which he may need to improve his performance. Contrarily, the Mexican driver also asserted that he is
committed with his team for this season.
Over and above, Massa needs to improve his performance in the approaching races so as to secure his race seat with the Scarlet team.
