Massa still confident for championship title

Felipe Massa is currently seven points down on championship leader Lewis Hamilton. The Brazilian realises he will need to give it his best in the final three races of the season, start at next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.

Speaking about his championship position Massa said: "It depends how you look at it: a seven point gap can be a lot or it can be a little. If you look at what happened to me in Singapore where my gap went from one point to seven so suddenly, then you have to consider it could easily go the other way as well.

"The most important element to consider is that we have a very good car. Without that, my chances would be much smaller. We have two good cars and we can try and get both of us to finish ahead of our rivals. It can be done and we need to think positive and we need to keep fighting to the last race."
