Ferrari back in top five
10 May 2009The Ferrari team was both satisfied and relieved to be back at the top end of the grid as Felipe Massa qualified fourth for the Spanish Grand Prix. Winner of the race in 2007, the Brazilian is the first car on the grid equipped with KERS and could be a major threat on the run to the first corner this afternoon.

"We have worked so hard to bring new components here for the F60 and the result of those efforts was confirmed today by Felipe's performance," said team manager Chris Dyer. The team's tactical decisions were once again under serious scrutiny after qualifying, however, as a Massa-Malaysia-esque slip-up by the team left Räikkönen 15th on the grid after taking pole and winning last year.
"Unfortunately, we made a serious mistake in our evaluation of Q1, believing that Kimi's time would have been good enough to get him through to the next stage," Dyer admitted. "It was a serious error which is really regrettable. We will try to make up for it tomorrow in a race which he will start from way down the order."
