After a disappoining Hungarian GP that saw the Williams Martini team fail to score any points Williams driver Felipe Massa has spoken of how he is confident that Hungary was a one off and that the races after the summer break will suit the FW37, with the only one of concern being the slower Singapore circuit.

For the Williams Martini team the recent Hungarian Grand Prix was one that produced a disappointing point-less result. But for Team driver Felipe Massa he is confident that there are "many good tracks for us" still to come in 2015.

Felipe is confident the majority of tracks remaining on the 2015 calendar will suit Williams and that he is confident that the results in Hungary were a one-off.

Felipe was asked how optimistic he was that Williams’ Hungary results were a one-off, he replied: “One hundred per cent confident.

“I don’t think what’s happened you will see [at] every race. We were very strong in the last race, fighting for the podium and even for first place.

“We need to understand because we have another slow circuit, which is Singapore [in September], so we have to do everything we can do to get there and be as competitive as we can. But we will have many, many good tracks for us and I’m sure we will be back on our pace on many tracks that are good for us.”

Massa spoke of his race in Hungary by saying: “The pace was really, really bad. We were very slow, especially me behind the traffic and with the prime tyres I couldn’t drive at all.

“Maybe the best stint was the last one when I was free with the option tyres, but even like that it was not quick. I was struggling a lot with the pace – it wasn’t good at all.”

Of even better news is that the next two races are IN Belgium and Italy which are at tracks that should therefore be ideally suited to the low-drag FW37.
