Massa eyes ‘amazing’ Sochi podium from P4

Click:OPP bag making machine

Felipe Massa is targeting a podium finish in Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix from fourth on the grid, with the Brazilian saying this would be “an amazing result” for him and Williams.

Massa set the fifth fastest time in qualifying but will line up one spot higher courtesy of Sebastian Vettel’s five-place gearbox penalty.

After a somewhat disappointing start to its 2016 campaign, Williams is looking to turn the tide in Sochi, having brought a flurry of upgrades that have been delivering so far with Valtteri Bottas netting a front row start in the other FW38.

“I am going to try for the podium and if we can do it, it would be an amazing result,” Massa said.

“Valtteri managed to do a great lap to be in front. I was behind and couldn’t really put the lap 100 percent together. But the car should be competitive for the race.

“We are a bit lucky to gain positions from one Ferrari and one Mercedes [Lewis Hamilton did not take part in Q3 due to an ERS issue]. They are going to be strong on Sunday for sure, but we need to try to do everything we can so that maybe can be a good race for us.”

Asked about Williams’ return to form this weekend, Massa added: “I think it is the track, the cooler temperatures is good but we were also more competitive on the long runs on Friday. The track is good for us, so we just need to repeat in the race.”

Williams’ latest visit to the podium stretched back to the 2015 Mexican Grand Prix with Bottas taking third, while Massa last stepped on the rostrum in Monza last season.

New floor solves Palmer’s handling troubles

Jolyon Palmer believes Renault has found the root cause of his recent handling troubles after replacing his floor before qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix.

After an encouraging first race in Australia, Palmer had struggled somewhat and was last on the road in China before also being off the pace during Friday practice in Russia. Following FP2, Palmer said he was not confident Renault would find a fix but changing the floor overnight resulted in him qualifying less than 0.1s off team-mate Kevin Magnussen.

“Happy, finally I can drive the car again,” Palmer said. “Changed the floor overnight and the car feels normal. FP3 immediately I could push and it wasn’t doing anything strange. Qualifying, 18th is not fantastic but at least for me personally it is actually enjoyable to drive and I can push and I think we can have a good race.

“It’s a new [floor], same spec – not upgraded – but new … It wasn’t working as we’d hoped. They couldn’t see it clearly on the numbers, but something has clearly not been working very well. Yesterday was very bad, China was very bad and we didn’t understand it. Changed the floor, that was all, we had a new one available, and immediately first lap today it was good.

“I changed [the floor] after Melbourne actually and then I changed to this one. Bahrain, China, not very happy. Yesterday not very happy and then today happy days again.”

While pleased to be confident in the car again, Palmer admits it was tough while he didn’t have a solution for his lack of pace.

“Formula 1’s quite a tough world when things are not going well and it’s harder when you’re a rookie and it’s not going well. I’m a GP2 champion but there’s plenty of people that can question me when I come last in a grand prix or get outqualified by 0.9s by a team-mate.

“It’s not like I can say … I did a good race in Melbourne which gave me confidence personally but for the rest of the world I think people were quite quick to criticise because all the sessions are covered and the analysis that people do now is huge. So it’s not easy but I just kept faith in myself because I realised that I’m not happy with the car and I can sort it. Finally I feel like we have.”

Wolff surprised by Red Bull strategy

Toto Wolff admits he was surprised by Red Bull’s decision to get through Q2 on the supersoft tyre to start on that compound in the Monaco Grand Prix.

Daniel Ricciardo took pole position with an impressive lap on Saturday, beating Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. While Wolff praised Red Bull’s pace he admits he is unsure why it opted to start the race on anything other than the softest compound which the rest of the top ten will start on should the race be dry.

“So first of all they are on pole and the stop watch never lies and this is why we love this sport,” Wolff said. “They deserve to be on pole, they put in an amazing lap and here we go.

“In terms of their strategy, clearly a very interesting one. They were the only ones. So it’s either extremely clever or not. There is a risk at the start because the grip level is not the same as on the ultrasoft but I don’t think that the tyres are a lot different, and then it all depends how they play on strategy during the race and certainly we have a couple of cards to play, not factoring in the weather. So let’s see how that pans out.”

And Wolff says the ultrasoft tyre is still able to last for enough laps to make it a one-stop race, adding to his surprise at Red Bull’s decision.

“The ultrasoft was pretty robust [on Thursday] in the long runs; it looked like the tyre that we would probably take to a one-stop strategy. I’m not 100 per cent sure why they decided to do that and it was Ricciardo’s long run that proved that [in practice].”

Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery believes the ultrasoft tyre will last for at least 25 laps at the start of today’s race, though rain throughout the morning makes it likely all teams will start on the intermediate or wet tyre.

Prost critical of ‘disastrous’ Baku TV coverage

Four-time world champion Alain Prost has blasted television coverage of last weekend’s European Grand Prix, labeling the event a “disaster’ for viewers.

While the race itself failed to provide much excitement or noteworthy events, something which certainly contributed to Prost’s negative view, the scenic Baku street circuit received mostly positive feedback from drivers and teams.

Prost however had better expectations when it came to TV coverage.

“I did not watch Friday and Saturday so I just followed social media and everyone was saying fantastic things about the track so I was quite happy to go and put on my TV,” the Frenchman explained.

“That was a disaster for me, I did not see the track everyone was talking about it. The positions of the camera were not very good. It was not really a good show.

“There was only one corner, with the left/right, where the cars were OK, where you get the impression of the speed.

“You’re watching the onboard camera and under braking, you cannot see the speed, you cannot hear the noise, you cannot see the difficulty.

“If I’m seeing what F1 is for the first time, I just think I’m doing the same behind the wheel of my [road] car. I want it to show something very difficult. I was really bored.”

As a solution to eventually boost spectator viewing and audiences, Alain Prost believes F1 should consider shorter tracks and more on-site entertainment.

“I would like to see maybe smaller tracks, more done for the shows and for the ambience. It should be much less expensive – that means people can come with the children.

“I would go even further, to try to find a way to not make accessibility to the top racing series only for rich people.”
