F1 Grand Prix Of India - Previews

Felipe Massa – 8/10On a poor day for the No. 1 Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa impressed everyone with a great drive to fourth place in India. However, with Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing winning the drivers and constructors title, the effort went unnoticed.Massa made a great start from fifth on the grid to reach second by the end of first lap, overtaking Mark Webber and Mercedes duo in the process. After Vettel pitted on lap 2, he only became the second driver to lead the Indian Grand Prix. However, that lead didn’t last long as Massa made his own first stop 6 laps later. From there, the Brazilian got struck in sixth place behind medium tyre starters and one stoppers Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo and Adrian Sutil. In the process he also had to keep other soft tyre starters at bay. One of them, namely, Nico Rosberg took an ambitious decision to pit early on lap 28 and get into clean air. Nico’s gain was Massa’s loss and when the latter made his final pit stop, he came behind Nico Rosberg. Nevertheless, Massa overtook Kimi Raikkonen right at the end of the race to equal his season best finish of fourth place.
