The unretiring Felipe Massa celebrated his return to active duty at Williams with an impressive seventh place in qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix.
Naturally, Massa wasn't satisfied with that. He was feeling irked to have been bumped from the top six by Haas' Romain Grosjean.
"Sixth would have been a great position for us today," he said. "But I think Romain did a very good lap, which I was not able to beat.
"That said, I am sure we can fight in the race. I’m really looking forward to making the first race of the season a good one."
Otherwise, Massa was very pleased with how things had gone at Albert Park Circuit on Saturday.
"All in all I was happy with qualifying," he beamed. "It was a good session.
"I am happy with my qualifying and the laps I was doing. It’s the first qualifying session of the season and the first time I have used the new ultrasoft tyres, after missing some laps on those yesterday."
"We were hoping to get a position in the top 10 after a good session in FP3," added Williams' chief technical officer Paddy Lowe.
"It was a solid qualifying session for him with quite a tight fight in the top ten.
"Felipe did a great job to get P7 on the grid. I think Felipe can put up a good fight for points tomorrow in the race."
