Massa confident despite poor start

A DOWNCAST Felipe Massa vowed to bounce back after the Ferrari driver failed to finish for the second consecutive race at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Having started on pole Massa dropped to second behind team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who went on to win, following the first round of pit-stops before spinning out on lap 31 after clipping the kerb on the exit of turn six.

The problem, Ferrari later revealed, was the aerodynamic balance of the car went forwards after the incident and the Brazilian lost control of the car when he tried to brake.
