Williams driver Felipe Massa says he is aiming to fight with Nico Rosberg after qualifying fifth for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Massa out-qualified teammate Valtteri Bottas and has increased his lead over his teammate in the qualifying head-to-head to 7-5.
The Brazilian qualified one place behind the Mercedes of Rosberg thus is confident of challenging him in tomorrow’s race.
The former Ferrari driver admitted his former team were out of reach today.
“Ferrari were maybe a little bit too quick today, and even with a perfect lap it would have been difficult to match them. I’m still happy with our performance and where we are.
Massa has finished on the podium at Monza on two previous occasions and is hoping to make it a third in tomorrow’s race.
“Power is very important on this circuit so we may be able to fight with Nico (Rosberg) but it is a long race. I have my sights on the podium, but most importantly we must have a good race, scores some valuable points and make sure we make no mistakes.”
