Massa completed Santander promotional day at Interlagos

08 March 2010 @ 07:30 GMT - Ian de Beer

Ferrari's Felipe Massa was in action in Sao Paulo in Brazil at the Interlagos circuit on Sunday. The predicted ran never came and Massa could do the squad's promotional obligations for Santander.

The Spanish bank organised the event to present its sponsorship program to the local media. The Brazilian driver drove a Ferrari California around the race track, followed by laps in a F2008 provided by Maranallo's F1 Clienti department.

Massa was joined by Emerson Fittipaldi and Luciano Burti and they interacted with a enthusiastic crowd. Massa drove the F2008 fitted with demonstration slick tyres and Fittipaldi drove a F430 Challenge. Burti drove a Fiat 500 on the main straight.

Massa said the following at the press conference: "it's always great driving here on my home circuit, in front of my fans. One week before the first GP I've got an edge."

The Brazilian had the following to say about his teammate Fernando Alonso: "I don't care if there have been miscommunications in the past, this is our sport. Now it's important to stay concentrated and work together well. This is what we're doing. Having seen the great work of the other teams I'm convinced that we've got an interesting Championship ahead of us."
