Massa: Ferrari on the road to recovery

Both Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen managed to qualify in the top five for the Monaco Grand Prix. It is surprisingly the first time this season that both Ferrari drivers have qualified in the top five at the grid. According to Felipe Massa the team is on the road to recovery.

The Ferrari F1 team, like a number of other highly rated teams, had a terrible start of the season. The Italian team has scored just six points so far, while championship leader Brawn GP already scored 68 points.

Brazilian driver Massa believes his team is on the way back and that it isn´t just Monaco´s track that helps the team moving up the grid. "At the last race (Spain) we already demonstrated that we are on the road to recovery - and this race for sure again. I think we are getting there."

But the team isn't there yet according to the runner-up from last year's F1 championship. "Our target was always to win races. That has never changed. But we clearly need to improve more to come into a position to win races."
