Massa vows to help Alonso land F1 title • Massa says he will do what he can to assist Ferrari team-mate• 'I will help the Scuderia in its fight for both championships'Felipe Massa has vowed to help Fernando Alonso in his bid to land a third Formula One world title.Last week Alonso called on his Ferrari team-mate Massa to come to his aid over the final three races of the season, starting Sunday with the inaugural race in Korea. Trailing Mark Webber by 14 points and level in the standings with Sebastian Vettel, Alonso knows he needs as much support as he can muster in order to battle the Red Bull duo.Massa, though, has not been around in the last two races after the Brazilian started at the back of the grid in Singapore last month due to a gearbox issue in qualifying, before suffering a collision at the first corner in the Japanese grand prix nine days ago.It had been suggested Massa was far from interested in playing second fiddle to Alonso after being told to give up his win in Germany, so effectively becoming the No2 driver.Assessing the final three grands prix, Massa said: "They are very important for me on a personal level to fight back after the disappointing outcome of the last two races in Japan and Singapore. More importantly, I will be trying to bring home a significant number of points to help the Scuderia in its fight for both championships."First we need to qualify well on Saturday and after that, in the race, I want to be in the middle of the battle for the drivers' championship. I want to be fighting with those five drivers who are chasing the title, which is the best thing I can do to help Ferrari's and Fernando's aspirations as we head for the end of the championships.For all 24 drivers this weekend, the Korea International Circuit represents a step into the unknown, with only experience in their team's simulators to rely on.Looking ahead to the new venue, Massa added: "Will it suit our car? Well, apart from when the Red Bulls have sometimes run away from the field, Ferrari has been competitive at most circuits and there is no reason to think differently this time."Formula OneFelipe MassaFernando AlonsoMotor sportguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
Vuvuzelas vie with pundits in generating hot air and noise “Where do you stand on the vuvuzela?” is the question on people’s lips at this World Cup — but, of course, the answer is, you don’t stand on it. For the best results, you blow into it from one end. That’s my reading of the unfolding situation on the ground, anyway. And then you continue to blow until such time as you expire or the tournament in South Africa ends, whichever comes sooner. timesonline.co.uk |
