RoastedLinuxMassa eager for Championship glory in Brazil
October 28th 2008 20:24
For Formula One pilot Felipe Massa, it will be the most important race of his career. The Brazilian is currently second overall in the championship race behind Englishman Lewis Hamilton, but Massa believes he will have his chance to emerge victorious when he races in the Grand Prix this Sunday in his native Brazil.
The Interlago circuit seems to be the defining destination for Massa and his championship aspirations.
Not only will he be racing in front of his home fans but he can also grasp the championship title away from Hamilton and crown himself the world's best Formula One driver for 2008.
"The Grand Prix in Brazil has always been a massive moment for me, now more than ever because now, I will be fighting for the title," he says.
"I have to give it my all and go for victory no matter what."
Give it his all he must because the driver standing in front of Massa for a championship crown is Lewis Hamilton, who has been leading for most of the season. The Brit would need to have a below par race if the Brazilian is to emerge with all the glory.
Massa has to win the Brazilian Grand Prix and also must rely on Hamilton finishing sixth or lower to crown himself champion.
"If everything goes well, I well realise a dream I have had since I was a little boy," says Massa. "But if I do not go away with the championship, I will give it my all next year."
Indeed if Massa does emerge victorious in his native Brazil, the Ferrari driver will stop using the same underwear for every Grand Prix race next season.
"But they have six victories and fourteen pole positions, but yeah, it is time for me to give them a wash.”
