Ferrari driver Felipe Massa is happy with new Formula One rules
New Ferrari driver Felipe Massa says that Formula One's latest changes
to its tyre rules will be a boost for the Italian team in 2006.
Bridgestone-supplied Ferrari dominated in 2004 when tyre changes were
last allowed, but suffered last season when they had to last for the
duration of an entire race.
Brazilian Felipe Massa said: "Everyone knows we had a difficult year with tyres (in 2005), but the rule change will help us.
"There have not been many rules in recent years that have helped us but this one does," added Felipe Massa.
Ferrari are also confident their new Formula One car, which should be
unveiled later this month, will bring them better results than their
poor efforts last season.
And Ferrari test driver Marc Gene admitted the team had been on a steep learning curve in 2005.
In fact, Ferrari were victorious in only one Grand Prix last season, and that was in the six-car US GP fiasco at Indianapolis.
