Felipe Massa hails "positive day" of practice for Indian Grand Prix

Ferrari's Felipe Massa says that he had a positive day practising for this weekend's Indian Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa has said that today was a "positive day" as he prepares for this weekend's Indian Grand Prix.

The Ferrari driver finished eighth and seventh in this morning's practice sessions at the Buddh International Circuit in New Delhi.

The Brazilian told Sky Sports News: "A positive day today, with the car working well and I hope that on Sunday things will end up even better, because I like this track a lot.

"Degradation is not that high here and so I don't think we will see a lot of pitstops. I think we won't see too many pit-stops, even if we will have to be careful with the soft tyres in the first stint because of blistering.

"The team to beat is still Red Bull, but we have to see how the other cars will perform, especially in qualifying, because Mercedes and Lotus are very quick. As usual, we will have to push to the maximum."

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who is the only driver to have won the race since its introduction in 2011, was fastest in both practices.
