Williams’ Felipe Massa was left very disappointed after qualifying as he only managed P15 on the grid for tomorrow’s Russian Grand Prix at the Sochi Autodrom.
Massa made several mistakes and was stuck in traffic during each of his four flying laps in Q2. This left the Brazilian down in fifteenth place while teammate Valtteri Bottas qualified third.
The Brazilian will have a tough afternoon ahead of him as overtaking at the Sochi Autodrom is difficult despite having the quickest car in a straight line.
“I made a mistake at turn eight in my first timed lap in Q2, and then in my final two attempts I came up against a lot of traffic which lost me a lot of time. On my final run my tyres were gone at the rear and that was the end of my chances. It’s a shame and I’m very disappointed.
“I have a quick car around here so we need to have a good strategy and use our pace to move up into the points tomorrow.”
