Williams driver Felipe Massa says he expects to be fighting back at the front after a disappointing Monaco Grand Prix which saw him finish 15th.
Both Williams’ drivers struggled all weekend as the team failed to score points for the first time since the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix.
Massa says the streets of Monaco did not suit the characteristics of the FW37 and expects to be stronger at the next two races.
Massa’s race was ruined on lap one as Nico Hulkenberg pushed the Brazilian into the barrier causing Massa’s car front-wing damage.
“Today was a very frustrating day and a race to forget for us. My race was effectively over in Turn 1, with another car pushing me over and I was left with a lot of damage to my tyre and front wing. The pit stop I had to make on Lap 1 put me right at the back of the pack and I spent the rest of the race looking out for blue flags.
The car has not had its usual performance all weekend but we know that we are heading to tracks in Canada and Austria that suit our car and we should be back fighting towards the front.”
