Well, its typical media spin obviously.

Q: Felipe do you think you can win?
FM: Yes for sure etc etc

Of course, Mr. Schumacher doesn't always play the media spin

Of course someone driving a top car is never going to say they're not confident of winning, and Massa has definitely performed better of late. But. He's still way off winning. And his best result is a sole 6th place.

Here's today's press conference transcript

Massa's good around Valencia, maybe he'll get a good result.

What's so funny about that?

He was clearly with it at Monaco and Canada; had he not made the mistake at Canada he would've ended up beating Alonso with his tyres the way they were at the end.

The Ferrari is now a better car and Felipe is much more confident now he knows how to set it up. He certainly can be the 8th winner if the car is competitive enough.

lmao

Massa should think about beating Alonso first before winning.

phil
: I'm pretty sure it was the Hockenheim track owners not Bernie who shortened the track. Anyway I really like the new track *awaits stoning*

I've been to the location of the Valencia circuit with my girlfriend [she's from Valencia] and having also been to Catalunya I can't see why you'd bother going to Valencia at all. Barcelona is the superior circuit, more fan friendly, and whilst she'd hate me for saying it there is tons more to do in Barcelona in comparison to Valencia. I guess Valencia has a great beach but for most motorsport fans I doubt thats a major drawing point :p

It's a shame if they'd have to alternate, they should just drop Valencia altogether.

Austin and NJ will sell shitloads of tickets.

However, both GPs will be off the calendar somehow within 5 years.

The other day I received my work packet for the Austin GP if I want to be a corner worker. Should I sign up or not?

cause the hotel rates are jacked up already. We don't get any compensation for are free effort. The hotels in the area know the rich are in town and they have really increased rates.

Ricciardo typically forthright; 'Tyres pretty fucked at the end'

Massa has definitely improved over the last couple of races. If he had equaled his Monaco Q2 time in the final session, he'd have out qualified Alonso. Looked handy in Montreal before his spin as well. I hope it is some kind of turning point in his season, because let's face it, it had been awful up until then.

Caterham looks like it has progressed quite a lot in lap times.

It's Austin, just hang out with some homeless hippies or something.
